Splatoon Raiders

Splatoon Raiders is a single-player focused action shooter released in 2026, developed by Nintendo EPD Production Group No. 5. It is an adventure and shooter game in which you splat scores of enemies and hunt for treasure. You play as a mechanic working with Deep Cut, a trio of swashbuckling musicians, and venture out into the mysterious Spirhalite Islands. You customize your character, kit yourself out with mechanical gadgets and ink-splattering weapons, and take on waves of foes called Salmonids as you raid the islands for salvage. One member of Deep Cut raids alongside you in a powerful bot. You can also join with up to three other players online or via local wireless.

Our Splatoon Raiders Co-op Guide: How to Unlock and Play Multiplayer With Friends covers unlocking co-op and explains that the first raid is the key. Multiplayer is gated by a modest but intentional progression wall: you cannot access it from the title screen, and you must first complete certain steps before you can play with friends. This guide is for players who want to play with others and need to know how co-op opens up.

We currently have one guide for Splatoon Raiders. More will be added here as we write them.
