Splatoon Raiders Direct airs, highlights single-player and Switch 2 footage

gamingJun 30, 20261032,183

Nintendo aired a roughly 15-minute Splatoon Raiders Direct on June 30 that focused on the new single-player, focused Splatoon adventure and showed Switch 2 footage plus multiplayer SOS help. The presentation emphasized an upgradable arsenal of weapons and gadgets, exploration and hordes of enemies, and customization and upgrade systems for loadouts. Treehouse coverage highlighted Tactical Tank gadgets such as the Shot Pot turret and chained Bombloons and reiterated that players can upgrade and customize found gadgets. Early impressions and a preview flagged the game’s movement, perks, and variety, with one preview likening its playstyle to a new Ratchet and Clank. Fans and outlets also cataloged a long list of weapons seen in the Direct, including shooters, blasters, rollers, chargers, sloshers, splatlings, brushes, brellas, dualies, splatanas, and bows. The Direct doubled as an update on Switch 2 development, showing footage tied to that hardware while explaining how co-op SOS assists will interact with the single-player-focused campaign. Coverage and hands-on previews now lead into deeper previews and streams that will show more extended gameplay and co-op details.

The more I see this game the more I’m like “this looks kinda sick”. Am I gonna be a splatoon freak? Maybe but I may shift to solely being a Nintendo freak again

Mike 'A Video Editor' Burgess2

Actually really stoked to see more about this game. Its single player but also has co-op and a co-op focused Splatoon sounds pretty fun. Salmon Run was underrated imo

vilijur2

ok i maybe a tad concerned..

Splatoon Raiders having the easy difficulty be labeled "Tourist Mode" is highly unfortunate.

Ellen's played some Splatoon Raiders, Nintendo's new single-player-focused entry in the series. What is the game like? Is it good? Watch our latest video to find out: youtu.be/QDfOzYN2BNg

test reads: "Is it any good?" next to a collection of characters from Splatoon Raiders, including the player character and the band Deep Cut of Shiver, Frye and Big Man.

Hey! It's July and that means it's *Checks notes* hot game summer! This month I have a list with 69 notable releases for you! Including The Mermaid Mask, Rhythm Heaven Groove, Splatoon Raiders, Denshattack, Scarlet Deer Inn and more! What is your most anticipated game of the month?

For the first time in my life Halo is coming out and it's not my most anticipated game. Xbox is a disaster. Guess I'll be playing Black Flag on PC instead.

David 1

Speedrunners 2 if it actually comes out in July.

Marc Deschamps1

Splatoon Raiders! I might finally play my copy of Resident Evil Requiem, too.

Matthew Williams1

Very much looking forward to The Mermaid Mask, Tangle Tower was great.

PREVIEW: Single-player-focused Splatoon Raiders is a colorful game about an upgradable arsenal of wild weapons, gadgets, hordes of enemies and some exploration In other words, it plays like a new Ratchet & Clank. Not what I expected; definitely something I missed www.gamefile.news/p/splatoon-r...

Splatoon Raiders looks like so much fun! I'm not very good at controlling Splatoon to begin with, but I hope to get better and be able to play with everyone!

Sure there was just a Direct, but what did WE think? I was expressed-shipped across the country to try Splatoon Raiders for some early impressions 👀 youtu.be/fLIO2-iVc9U?...

Now I’m just imagining you sealed in a cardboard box and mailing yourself across the country

I'm glad it's looking like a full usual Splatoon campaign mixed with Salmon Run and not just one or the other
