Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Get Encouraging Updates

Fans are expecting two major Nintendo Switch 2 games, Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, to come out soon. Splatoon Raiders was revealed last year, but Nintendo hasn’t announced a release date yet. Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave was announced a few months after, and Nintendo is currently targeting a 2026 launch.

Since its release last year, Nintendo has consistently released major new games for the Switch 2. The console launched with Mario Kart World, followed a month later by Donkey Kong Bananza. In 2025, players enjoyed titles like Kirby Air Riders and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, and 2026 brought Mario Tennis Fever and Pokemon Pokopia. While there aren’t many exclusive Switch 2 games currently announced for the future, two of them are expected to be released soon.

Both Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Could Be Releasing Soon

Both Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave have recently received ratings from PEGI, the European game rating board (similar to the ESRB in North America). This usually indicates a game is nearing release, suggesting both titles could be launched within the next few months. A summer 2026 release would align with previous leaks, which have been confirmed by trustworthy sources and supported by Nintendo, adding to their credibility.

Recent leaks suggested two big Nintendo Switch 2 games for Summer 2026: Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave and Splatoon Raiders. Another leaked game, Rhythm Heaven Groove, has now been officially confirmed for a summer release, lending credibility to the other claims. With age ratings for Fire Emblem and Splatoon Raiders now appearing, a summer launch seems likely, though fans should remain cautiously optimistic. While games often release soon after receiving age ratings, delays can happen, so it’s best not to assume a release is guaranteed.

What Other Switch 2 Games Are On the Way?

If the recent leaks are true, we might see a new Star Fox game, a release of Nintendo Switch Sports, and Pikmin 4 updated for the Nintendo Switch 2 this summer. Nintendo is expected to reveal these games—and likely more—during a Nintendo Direct presentation in June, so fans should stay tuned for updates.
