Switch 2 Gamers, Get Ready: Splatoon Raiders Pre-Orders & New Amiibo are Here!

Salam, fellow gamers! If you’ve been eagerly waiting for a fresh dose of Splatoon action, we’ve got some exciting news that’ll make your day. It’s been almost four years since Splatoon 3 splashed onto our screens, but the wait for a new adventure is finally over! Get ready to mark your calendars because Splatoon Raiders is officially launching on July 23, and the best part? Pre-orders are live right now!

This isn’t just another Splatoon game; Splatoon Raiders is shaping up to be a truly unique experience. It’s been confirmed as an exclusive title for the upcoming Switch 2 console, and it takes a different path from its predecessors. Forget the usual team-based turf wars for a bit, because this one is all about single-player exploration and treasure hunting!

In Splatoon Raiders, you’ll embark on an epic quest across the mysterious Spirhalite Islands, battling hordes of the infamous Salmonids as you search for hidden riches. While the focus is heavily on a compelling single-player campaign, you won’t be entirely alone – a few friends can join you for some cooperative fun. But make no mistake, this is a fresh, narrative-driven take on the Splatoon universe that promises a distinct adventure.

Grab Your Copy: Physical or Digital?

For those of you who love the feel of a game cartridge in your hands, the physical edition of Splatoon Raiders will be available for $60. It’s launching on July 23, complete with the full game data on the cartridge, just like most first-party Nintendo Switch 2 physical releases.

If you prefer the convenience of digital downloads and want to save a few bucks, the digital version is priced at $50. You’ll get the exact same game experience, just without the physical box. Both options are ready for pre-order, so you can pick what suits your gaming style best!

Meet the New Amiibo: Deep Cut is Here!

But wait, there’s more! Alongside the game, Nintendo is also dropping a fantastic trio of new Amiibo figures inspired by Splatoon Raiders. Say hello to Frye, Shiver, and Big Man – the charismatic members of the in-game musical group, Deep Cut! You’ll be teaming up with these characters during your single-player campaign, making these Amiibo a cool way to connect with the game.

These awesome figures will also be available from July 23, priced at $25 each. While Nintendo hasn’t spilled the beans yet on what exactly these Amiibo will unlock when scanned into Splatoon Raiders, we’re betting on some cool in-game goodies, maybe consumable items or some snazzy gear to help you on your treasure hunt. Keep an eye out, because if previous Splatoon Amiibo are anything to go by, these are going to be hot items and might sell out fast!

So, get ready to dive into a brand-new Splatoon experience on your Switch 2. The countdown to July 23 has begun!
