Which company publishes Splatoon Raiders?

Nintendo publishes Splatoon Raiders. It is a first-party Nintendo game, developed and released within the company’s own Splatoon franchise rather than published by Bandai Namco, Capcom, or Sega.

The publisher relationship fits Splatoon’s history. Nintendo created the series and published the original Splatoon for Wii U in 2015, followed by Splatoon 2 for Nintendo Switch in 2017 and Splatoon 3 in 2022. Raiders expands that established universe with a different structure centered on exploration, salvage, and cooperative raids.

Nintendo’s official listings identify Nintendo as the publisher and Nintendo Switch 2 as the system. The game’s presentation also uses established series elements, including ink-based weapons, Salmonids, and the musical trio Deep Cut.

A common source of confusion is that large game publishers sometimes distribute or co-publish titles developed by outside studios. That is not the case here: Nintendo is both the recognizable owner of the Splatoon property and the listed publisher of this spinoff.
