Overview
Splatoon Raiders is a Switch 2 exclusive treasure-raid adventure. Customize a Mechanic, craft gadgets from salvage, explore the Spirhalite Islands with Deep Cut, fight Salmonids, and optionally drop into online co-op.
Unlike Turf War shooters, the pitch is adventure structure plus Splatoon gunplay fantasy — solo-friendly with optional friends.
Guides & Tips
Mechanic Loadout Basics
Prioritize mobility gadgets before glass-cannon damage kits. Salvage crafting is the campaign economy — clear side caches even when the main path is open so you are not under-tooled for Salmonid spikes.

Treat Salmonid waves like resource checks, not deathmatches. Save burst kits for known elite spawns and keep ink paths open for retreat.

Pre-Launch Outlook
Adventure Splatoon Bet
Nintendo’s July 23 Switch 2 launch positions Splatoon Raiders as a treasure-hunting adventure with Deep Cut, Mechanic crafting, and optional co-op against Salmonids. It is the franchise’s clearest push beyond pure Turf War loops.
Risk is whether adventure pacing satisfies shooter fans; promise is a single-player on-ramp that still feels like Splatoon.
Community Pulse
Community chatter mixes excitement for single-player Splatoon with questions about mission length and gadget depth. Trailers highlighting salvage crafting and island exploration are the main share hooks.
Expectation management: this is not Splatoon 3 Season content — it is a separate adventure SKU.
