The next Nintendo Direct will be dedicated to the company&#8217;s upcoming Splatoon spinoff, the single-player survival adventure <em>Splatoon Raiders<\/em>, offering a deep dive into the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<p>Nintendo&#8217;s <em>Splatoon Raiders<\/em> Direct will stream live on June 30, starting at 7 a.m. PDT \/ 10 a.m. EDT, and will last roughly 15 minutes, according to Nintendo. Expect new gameplay details and plenty of sea-life wordplay.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s not all: Nintendo is also planning an extended look at <em>Splatoon Raiders<\/em> gameplay with a new Nintendo Treehouse: Live broadcast.<\/p>\n<p><em>Splatoon Raiders<\/em> was announced last June, shortly after Nintendo launched the Switch 2. In the follow-up to <em>Splatoon 3<\/em>, players will go treasure hunting across the Spirhalite Islands while battling Salmonids, the aggressive sea creatures players face in <em>Splatoon 2<\/em> and <em>Splatoon 3<\/em>&#8216;s Salmon Run modes. Players take on the role of a mechanic working for the Deep Cut trio (Frye, Shiver, and Big Man) building wild creations and a variety of gadgets and paint-throwing devices.<\/p>\n<p><em>Splatoon Raiders<\/em> will be released on July 23, exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2. The same day, Nintendo will release a trio of new amiibo figures: Splatoon Raiders versions of Frye, Shiver, and Big Man. (That trio was immortalized in amiibo form back in 2023 for the release of <em>Splatoon 3<\/em>.) Nintendo will also release new Joy-Con 2 controllers in a blue and light yellow colorway.<\/p>\n<p><em>Splatoon Raiders costs<\/em> $49.99 for the game&#8217;s digital version, and $59.99 for the physical version, as part of Nintendo&#8217;s new pricing plan. Each <em>Splatoon Raiders<\/em> amiibo costs $24.99.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card  article article-card small  no-badge  active-content                              \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"23365591\/splatoon-3-lore-alterna-splatfest-nintendo-switch\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<p>                        <img width=\"440\" height=\"248\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Frye the eel character from Deep Cut dancing for a Splatfest in Splatoon 3\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/chorus\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/24042351\/Switch_Splatoon3_ND_20220810_TitleDirect_Splatfest_Splatsville_03.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=220&amp;h=124&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/chorus\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/24042351\/Switch_Splatoon3_ND_20220810_TitleDirect_Splatfest_Splatsville_03.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=220&amp;h=124&amp;dpr=2\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\"><label>Related<\/label><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\">\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t\tSplatoon 3 is a world governed by chaos \u2014 and that rules<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">This is the world we picked<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/nintendo-direct-june-30-splatoon-raiders-switch-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Published Jun 29, 2026, 10:36\u202fAM EDT Nintendo will reveal much more about its new Splatoon game for Switch 2 Image: Nintendo Nintendo announced Monday that&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":64791,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6570,6736,258,6209,2830,17558],"class_list":["post-64790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-announced","tag-direct","tag-game","tag-june","tag-nintendo","tag-splatoon","wpcat-32-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=64790"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64790\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/64791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=64790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=64790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=64790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
