Which app announced Splatoon Raiders on June 10, 2025?

Nintendo Today! announced Splatoon Raiders on June 10, 2025. The reveal introduced the game as the first Splatoon spin-off and confirmed it for Nintendo Switch 2.

The announcement arrived through Nintendo Today!, Nintendo’s smart-device news app, rather than a conventional Nintendo Direct. The accompanying trailer showed a new mechanic protagonist travelling with Deep Cut—Shiver, Frye and Big Man—toward the mysterious Spirhalite Islands.

The app is easy to confuse with Nintendo’s other services. Nintendo Switch Online is the subscription service for online play and classic-game access, while Nintendo eShop is the digital storefront. Miiverse was Nintendo’s discontinued social network. None of those services was the announcement platform.

The timing also matters: the reveal came alongside news about a major Splatoon 3 update for Switch 2. Later information described Raiders as a single-player-focused action shooter with optional cooperative play, making it a spin-off rather than a numbered Splatoon sequel.
