Nintendo has announced Splatoon Raiders, the first-ever Splatoon spinoff, as a new Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive. In addition, Splatoon 3 update 10.0.0 was announced a free update for both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 in a new trailer.
In Splatoon Raiders, players take on the role of a mechanic and go on an adventure in the mysterious Spirhalite Islands alongside the Deep Cut trio. More details regarding Splatoon Raiders, including a release date, will be revealed at a later date.
What’s more, Splatoon 3 update 10.0.0 will launch on June 12 for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, adding cross-platform play between both systems. Splatoon 3 will also receive visual and performance upgrades on Nintendo Switch 2 with the new update.
Update 10.0.0 will also feature the Splatlands collection, consisting of 30 new weapons from the Barazushi and Emberz brands. Based on previous weapons, these new additions have different sub and special weapons. A returning stage from the original Splatoon game on Wii U, called Urchin Underpass, will also be added.
The update will raise all weapon Freshness caps, and players can earn new in-game Badges. A new stat called Series Weapon Power will also be added to Anarchy Battle (Series). The new stat tracks a player’s effectiveness per weapon based on their win/loss ratio in battles. It will then match them with players of a similar power, making it possible for players to try out new weapons without being put at a disadvantage.
Lastly, Splatoon 3 is available now for Nintendo Switch.
