I did not expect a new Splatoon game to be announced today!!! More fascinating is that it's an intentional spin off title. I'm very intrigued.

The single player gameplay of the Splatoon games has always been fantastic. So seeing a dedicated game that may lean towards that is exciting as all heck. Is it some open-world style thing? Perhaps not but it doesn't appear that we'll be just on little pockets of stage like we have been. What will we be doing? What is in store? I'm so excited to find out. I already know it's a Day One purchase. It's just gotta be.

Announced in the wee hours of the morning on June 10th, 2025, via the Nintendo Today! app, and later their own YouTube channel... It's Splatoon Raiders!

I love the way this was announced. The Nintendo Today app pushing one important notification a month is my dream come true.

A friend of mine asked me if I had heard the news about Splatoon, and I said no. Then they said the Nintendo app. I should have known to just check there by default. I'll know better next time. I'm glad they put it on YouTube afterwards cuz then it was easier for me to share with my wife and also listen with sound on while at work, but I do love the idea that fun big surprises can come from that app.

I actually did see it in the app but I just assumed it was Splatoon 3 DLC.

To be fair, the video did have some added Splatoon 3 content detailed.
