Nintendo ha svelato ufficialmente Splatoon Raiders, il nuovo attesissimo spin-off della celebre saga di sparatutto, con un Direct dedicato trasmesso oggi, 30 giugno 2026.
Il titolo abbandona le classiche arene multiplayer competitive per abbracciare una struttura action-RPG in giocatore singolo e cooperativa. Il debutto sul mercato è fissato per il prossimo 23 luglio 2026 in esclusiva sulla nuova console Nintendo Switch 2.
Ecco un riassunto dettagliato e completo con tutte le informazioni ufficiali presentate durante il Direct di Splatoon Raiders:
🗺️ Ambientazione e Storia
Il gioco è uno sparatutto d’azione focalizzato sul giocatore singolo.
- Vestirai i panni di un meccanico che lavora insieme ai Deep Cut (Shiver, Frye e Big Man).
- Esplorerai le misteriose Isole Spirhalite a caccia di tesori e bottini.
- Un membro dei Deep Cut ti accompagnerà a bordo di un potente Bot da Esplorazione per aiutarti a rilevare i tesori.
- La base operativa sarà una nave-rifugio.
Le isole includono zone per estrarre cristalli di Spirhalite, tane piene di creature e dungeon sotterranei.
🐟 Nemici (Salmonoidi)
Per raggiungere i tesori dovrai affrontare diverse tipologie di Salmonoidi:
- Salmonoidi Minori: Deboli da soli, ma attaccano in orde schiaccianti.
- Boss Salmonoidi: Più robusti e con punti deboli specifici. Se sconfitti, rilasciano una Mega Uova d’Oro (Mega Power Egg) per alimentare il Bot.
- Salmonoidi Stagionati (Seasoned Salmonids): Il picco dell’evoluzione Salmonoide. Sono Boss ricoperti di sale: più sono salati, più sono difficili da sconfiggere.
🎒 Serbatoi e Gadget
Il sistema di combattimento si basa su oltre 100 varianti di armi e su tre tipi di serbatoi equipaggiabili con gadget specifici:
- Serbatoio Velocità (Speed Tank): Ottimo per muoversi e schivare rapidamente.
- Blast Boot: Balzo in avanti per attaccare o ritirarsi.
- Dash Bomb: Scatto direzionale seguito da un’esplosione.
- Booyarang: Un boomerang d’inchiostro che resta sospeso in aria prima di tornare.
- Serbatoio Potenza (Power Tank): Per affrontare le orde a testa alta.
- Splatchet: Un fendente rapido e ampio per rompere gli scudi.
- Splatellites: Satelliti che ruotano attorno a te colorando il terreno.
- Spinwheel: Ruota e spara inchiostro muovendosi in avanti, respingendo i nemici.
- Serbatoio Tattico (Tactical Tank): Per uno stile di gioco strategico.
- Shot Pot: Una torretta schierabile che attacca automaticamente.
- Bombloons: Palloni esplosivi collegabili tra loro per creare mega detonazioni.
- Tether Wail: Un potente laser collegato direttamente al serbatoio.
🛠️ Personalizzazione, Hub e Crescita RPG
Raccogliendo componenti durante le escursioni, potrai personalizzare e potenziare i gadget (aumentando danno, cadenza di fuoco, o aggiungendo gas di respingimento). All’interno del rifugio i Deep Cut gestiranno diverse strutture:
- Shiver: Gestisce il Laboratorio di Gadget per crearne di nuovi.
- Frye: Gestisce la Riserva d’Armi per potenziarle o smantellarle in materiali.
- Big Man: Cataloga informazioni e dati utili.
Progressione: Sconfiggendo nemici si sale di livello. Anche in caso di sconfitta durante un raid, manterrai tutte le armi e i materiali recuperati. Potrai usare i bottini al Capanno del Meccanico per aumentare statistiche permanenti come HP e potenza d’attacco.
⚙️ Altre Funzionalità
- Abbigliamento e amiibo: Completando sfide sbloccherai outfit stilistici. Toccando gli amiibo della serie Splatoon o i nuovi amiibo dedicati a Splatoon Raiders sbloccherai costumi unici.
- Difficoltà regolabili: Sarà possibile scegliere in qualsiasi momento tra tre difficoltà sulla nave (Turista, Predatore o Sopravvissuto). Il bottino resta identico, ma i Salmonoidi diventano molto più aggressivi.
- Multiplayer e Richiesta d’Aiuto (Call for Help): Il gioco supporta la modalità cooperativa online o locale wireless fino a 4 giocatori. Giocando in singolo, potrai lanciare una richiesta d’aiuto online per ricevere assistenza temporanea da altri utenti. Chi risponde alla chiamata ottiene ricompense extra.
- Crossover: Presto si terrà uno Splatfest speciale su Splatoon 3 per celebrare il lancio del gioco.
During today’s Splatoon Raiders Direct presentation, Nintendo dished up fresh news about the Splatoon Raiders game, which launches exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 system on July 23.
In this single-player-focused action-shooter, you play as a mechanic working with Deep Cut — a trio of swashbuckling musicians named Shiver, Frye and Big Man — and venture out into the mysterious Spirhalite Islands in search of treasure. Customize your character, kit yourself out with ink-splattering weapons and mechanical gadgets, and take on waves of enemy Salmonids as you raid the islands for loot. A member of Deep Cut will even join you in a powerful Exploration Bot, which can help detect treasure among other useful functions. Gear up aboard the hideout ship, and head out to uncover the mysteries of the islands as you search out its undiscovered spoils.

- Treasure Hunting – The Spirhalite Islands feature varied terrain and environments, teeming with challenges, enemies and treasure. There are areas with Spirhalite crystals to mine, dens swarming with aggressive creatures called Salmonids, strange facilities where only certain equipment is allowed and dungeons in which you’ll dig deeper underground.
- Salmonid Enemies: To reach the loot, you’ll have to get through these ferocious foes first. They lurk across the islands, crowd around treasure and attack anything that gets too close. There are many different types, including:
- Lesser Salmonids – These enemies aren’t much of a threat on their own, but they attack in hordes that can overwhelm you if you’re not careful.
- Boss Salmonids – These creatures present a beefier challenge, with their own strengths and weaknesses to uncover. Defeat Boss Salmonids, and they’ll drop a Mega Power Egg – a great energy source for the Bot.
- Seasoned Salmonids – These tough foes are the peak of Salmonid evolution! They are like Boss Salmonids but they’re well-seasoned (with salt), and it seems like the saltier the Salmonid the tougher they are to overcome. Good thing you’ll have the mechanic’s tools of the trade at your disposal, including lots of weapons and gadgets to secure your treasures.
- Weapons – Weapons spray ink from your refillable tank and are essential for defeating Salmonids. With more than 100 weapon variations to discover, you’re bound to find something to roll with. Salmonids might drop a weapon when they’re defeated, and you might even find some rare weapons with special powers, too.
- Tanks and Gadgets: There are three types of tanks at your disposal: The Speed Tank, Power Tank and Tactical Tank. Each tank can be equipped with two gadgets to start, and the gadgets you can equip depend on the tank.
- Speed – Move quickly, fight fast and evade attacks with this tank. Gadgets include Blast Boot to leap forward and attack (or retreat) at high speed, Dash Bomb to launch forward, sideways or backward with a bomb explosion, and the Booyarang to throw and strike enemies – it’ll also stay airborne for a bit before returning to you.
- Power – Overpower enemies and tackle swarms head-on with this tank. Charge into battle with gadgets like the Splatchet to perform a quick slash in a wide-sweeping arc and break through tough shields; Splatellites that spin around you and attack with ink while coating the ground; and the Spinwheel, which swirls and sprays ink as you move forward, pushing back Salmonids that touch it and locking on to Boss Salmonids.
- Tactical – Fight more strategically with this tank! Gadgets suited for tactical play include the Shot Pot, a deployable turret, which can automatically attack enemies, Bombloons which can be linked together to create a big blast when you fire at them, and the Tether Wail, which connects to your tank with a powerful laser.
- Customize and Build – The true value of your gadgets comes from how you customize them. Collect gadget parts during island excursions and add them to available slots to upgrade your gadgets in several ways, like increased damage, fire rate, duration, or adding effects like ink explosions or knockback gas, and more. Plus, Shiver can help you craft new gadgets in the Gadget Workshop, Frye can assist with upgrading weapons or turning them into materials in the Weapon Stash, and Big Man will lend a fin by cataloging all sorts of useful info and more. Build facilities that can be used to further optimize your treasure-hunting toolkit.
Levelling Up – There are plenty of ways to get stronger in Splatoon Raiders. You’ll level up by defeating Salmonids and you get to keep any weapons and salvage you find, even if you’re defeated during a raid. Use the spoils from your hunt to upgrade your tanks at the Mechanic’s Shack and increase stats like attack power and HP. Tanks also gain other enhancements the more you use them, like being able to equip three gadgets instead of two. - Additional Features: Here are a few more features covered in the presentation:
- Outfits – No matter where adventure takes you, looking stylish is essential. Complete challenges across the islands and you’ll obtain slick outfits with all sorts of designs. If you tap compatible amiibo figures1 from the Splatoon series, you can get a unique outfit. And by tapping the new Splatoon Raiders amiibo figures, you can unlock a corresponding outfit inspired by the figure used.
- Difficulty Options – There are three difficulties to choose from: Tourist for a casual adventure, Raider for a standard experience, and Survivalist for veterans and challenge-seekers. You can change these options at any time on the hideout ship. The loot will be the same for each, but Salmonids will be a lot tougher on higher difficulties.
- Multiplayer – This game can be fully enjoyed solo, but you can also team with up to three other players online or via local wireless3 to hunt for treasure and progress through the story together.
- Call for Help – Even when playing solo, you can request help from other players online for temporary aid. Once you’ve requested help and finished a raid, you’ll have to wait to use this feature again. Or lend a helping tentacle to answer someone else’s request and receive rewards in turn.
- Salmonid Relics – These Salmonid treasures are hidden around the Spirhalite Islands. Find them to discover their strange, hidden powers.
There are many unknown locales around the Spirhalite Islands, including deep underground, and some of them appear to be bottomless. Gear up for a fresh adventure and get your tentacles on treasure galore. Splatoon Raiders surfaces on Nintendo Switch 2 on July 23.
