Dive into Splatoon Raiders: A Treasure Hunt Adventure Awaits

The Splatoon series has always been about chaotic multiplayer fun, where teams battle it out in a paint-splattered arena. While there have been campaigns in the past, they often felt more like tutorials than full adventures. That’s all about to change with the release of Splatoon Raiders.

This new title marks a significant shift for the franchise, focusing solely on a captivating campaign that invites players to explore mysterious islands in search of treasure and a way back home. Unlike its predecessors, which thrived on competitive multiplayer modes, Splatoon Raiders allows you to take on challenges at your own leisure, whether solo or alongside friends in online co-op.

So, how long can you expect to spend on this adventure? Well, if you’re diving into Splatoon Raiders for an average playthrough, you’re looking at around 15 to 18 hours. This time frame includes tackling the main missions while also indulging in some optional quests that reward you with stylish outfits, experimenting with various weapon types, and hunting down hidden Salmonid Relic collectibles. Your total playtime will also depend on the difficulty setting you choose: Tourist (Easy), Raider (Medium), or Survivalist (Hard).

For those aiming for 100% completion, you’ll be in for a lengthy grind. Collecting every weapon, gadget, outfit, and Salmonid Relic can significantly increase your playtime. Once the main campaign is wrapped up, you have the option to jump back in solo or with friends to tackle a challenging endgame that pushes you to upgrade your gear consistently and strategize for each raid.

If you’re keen on wrapping up the post-game content, expect to easily surpass the 40-hour mark. But the excitement doesn’t end there! The real charm of Splatoon Raiders lies in playing with others. Whether teaming up with friends or helping out random players, there’s plenty of fun to be had as you rally together to tackle tougher challenges. Even after you’ve experienced much of what the game has to offer, those who love the gameplay loop can find countless hours of enjoyment by working together, grinding for sweet rewards, and building up powerful gear.

Splatoon Raiders is available exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2, so get ready to jump into this treasure-hunting adventure!
