Nintendo just officially revealed the Splatoon Raiders release date on Switch 2

Nintendo has just confirmed the Splatoon Raiders release date. This is the next in the long line of Nintendo leaks and rumors to come true – it releases this summer.

Splatoon Raiders release date announced

Nintendo officially revealed the all-new Splatoon Raiders back in June of 2025 as the first Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive title in the series. The spin-off title has players take on the role of a mechanic through an adventure in the mysterious Spirhalite Islands alongside the splat-tacular Deep Cut trio. 

Today’s release day announcement comes accompanied by another look at the game including both cinematics and actual gameplay – it debuted in the Nintendo Today! app this morning and will surely be live on YouTube and elsewhere very soon (we will update this post shortly).  

The new Splatoon Raiders for Nintendo Switch 2 is officially set for release July 23, 2026 and carries a $49.99 digital launch price.
