Nintendo has announced Splatoon Raiders for Switch 2.
This game will serve as a spin-off of the Splatoon series, with players taking on the role of a mechanic. The game was first announced via Nintendo’s bespoke Today app, where it shares daily updates on games and franchises under its umbrella. Players will be able to head over to the “mysterious Spirhalite Islands alongside the splat-tacular Deep Cut trio”.
In addition to Splatoon Raiders, Nintendo also has Splatoon 3 version 10.0.0 inbound. This will add new weapons, badges and more to the base game. As per the video shared via the Nintendo Today app, Splatoon 3 players will soon find 30 new weapon kits, the arrival of Urchin Underpass, new stat tracking options for weapon power, while the weapon freshness limit is being increased.
On top of all that, Nintendo has also talked of improved visuals and frame rate for Switch 2 as part of an update coming on 12th June. It has assured that those playing on Switch 2 will still be able to play against those on the original Switch console, as well.
Splatoon 3 was initially released back in 2022, and we here at Eurohamer were rather taken with it. “There are few surprises to be found in Splatoon 3’s multiplayer or campaign, but it is the best Nintendo’s spectacular series has been to date,” reads Eurogamer’s Splatoon 3 review.
As for the Switch 2, well that chap released last week, with many already enjoying the likes of Mario Kart World. Want to know more about the console before committing to one yourself?
