Splatoon Raiders - Nintendo Switch 2

Grab Your Gadgets and Loot the Spirhalite Islands

Splatoon Raiders is the first spin-off in the Splatoon series and a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive. You play as a mechanic travelling with the idol trio Deep Cut (Shiver, Frye and Big Man) on a treasure hunt across the remote Spirhalite Islands. After a rough landing the crew runs into hostile Salmonids, strange ancient devices and a giant floating Power Egg at the heart of the islands.

Each run is a loot-and-escape expedition: hop between islands, hunt for treasure, fight off waves of enemies and get out in one piece. A customisable gadget system opens up new ways to move and fight, and you can pair those gadgets with a wide range of ink weapons while collecting Power Eggs and relics to push the story forward.

Take on the campaign solo or team up with up to four players over local wireless or online, with the challenge scaling to the size of your squad. GameChat is supported on Nintendo Switch 2, and you can play on the TV, in tabletop mode or handheld.
