by

As a dedicated fan excitedly waiting for news, it seems there’s a hint that details about the upcoming spin-off titled Splatoon Raiders might have surfaced! Allegedly, this intriguing new installment may grace our screens as early as 2025. Moreover, unlike the mainline series, it appears the focus will be on captivating storylines and immersive exploration. With whispers of a Nintendo Direct broadcast looming by the end of July, I can hardly contain my anticipation!

On June 10th, Nintendo astonished fans of the game “Splatoon” by unveiling a new spin-off titled “Splatoon Raiders,” exclusively for the Switch 2. This intriguing adventure takes place on the enigmatic Spirhalite Islands, where the protagonist, referred to as The Mechanic, embarks on a journey alongside the Deep Cut trio to explore the islands and discover hidden treasures. In keeping with its name, The Mechanic character will make use of various machines and ink-powered weapons throughout their island exploration. The announcement of “Splatoon Raiders” was accompanied by details about the update (version 10.0.0) for “Splatoon 3,” which introduced the Splatlands weapon collection for players to obtain.

As an enthusiastic fan, I’ve been eagerly awaiting updates on the upcoming spin-off game, Splatoon Raiders. Word on the street is that it might drop in 2025! Now, here’s where things get interesting – according to sources like Nintendo Patents Watch on Bluesky and GoNintendo, an anonymous Malaysian retailer has hinted at this exciting news.

What makes Splatoon Raiders even more intriguing is its focus on a single-player adventure that emphasizes exploration and storytelling. The new quest system it introduces promises to be a game-changer for the Splatoon franchise. And speaking of changes, it looks like our beloved Mechanic character will be sporting some mechanical modifications to traverse the Spirhalite Islands. However, the details on how this mechanic fits into the gameplay are still under wraps.

With Nintendo keeping tight-lipped about Splatoon Raiders since June 10, it’s important to remember that these rumors should be taken with a pinch of salt until official confirmation arrives. But hey, a fan can dream, right?

Before a supposed Nintendo Direct event, rumored to air in late July, there’s been a buzz. Nintendo hasn’t officially confirmed any details about this potential Direct, but a scheduled maintenance period for the Nintendo eShop has given some weight to the notion that it could be broadcast by July 31st. At present, games like “Metroid Prime 4: Beyond” and “Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment,” along with projects from third-party developers, are yet to have their release dates for Nintendo platforms announced.

Although specifics about the Splatoon Raiders are still scarce, this initial spin-off of the Splatoon series appears set to keep gamers entertained until the much-anticipated release of Splatoon 4 is announced. The timing for when Nintendo will unveil its plans is yet to be determined.
