Splatoon spin-off Splatoon Raiders announced for Switch 2

Nintendo has unveiled Splatoon Raiders, an upcoming Switch 2 spin-off set in the Splatoon universe.

The details:

• The game was announced during Nintendo's latest Splatoon news video on its "Today" app. According to the description, players will assume the role of a mechanic and "go on an adventure in the mysterious Spirhalite Islands alongside the splat-tacular Deep Cut trio."

• No further details or release date has been revealed for Raiders, but it has been speculated that Nintendo could be planning to hold a Direct showcase later this month. Although unconfirmed, fans have noticed that Nintendo has always held a Direct in June in the past few years, and with more Switch 2 games on the way, it seems likely.

• Along with the reveal of Raiders, Splatoon 3's version 10.0.0 update for June 12 has also been announced. The update will include new weapons, the return of the original game's Urchin Underpass map, additional badges, and increased "Freshness" caps. Switch 2 owners will also benefit from improved performance and visuals.

• Nintendo has delayed the Legend of Zelda film adaptation, citing "production reasons."
• Samantha Kelly has announced that Nintendo is recasting Princess Peach and Toad after almost two decades voicing the characters.
