NEW SPLATOON GAME & HUGE UPDATE COMING TO SWITCH 2!
The first post-launch Nintendo Switch 2 game announcement has just happened and it’s a spin-off for Splatoon, with a major new update for Splatoon 3 out this week.
Now that the Nintendo Switch 2 is out, the big question is when other new games will be announced for it… and how. There are rumours of a Nintendo Direct this month, but so far no confirmation, and yet Nintendo has just unveiled a new game, via its Nintendo Today! mobile app.
That’s probably going to become a regular occurrence, with the reveal including a five minute trailer that announces a spin-off called Splatoon Raiders and the Ver. 10.0.0 update for Splatoon 3.
It’s not really clear what Splatoon Raiders is, but it may be another attempt to make a successful single-player mode for the game, even though the franchise is fundamentally multiplayer at heart.
We’re only guessing that Raiders might be singe-player, as it’s really not clear from the brief trailer, which only confirms that you play as a mechanic helping out the Deep Cut trio investigate a mysterious island.
Nintendo has tried multiple times to make single-player content for Splatoon, including via two DLC expansions, but while the Octo Expansion for Splatoon 2 was the best attempt it was super hard and will have done little to expand the franchise’s appeal.
