Nintendo Drops Major Splatoon News: New Spinoff & Splatoon 3 Update for Switch 2

Nintendo has unexpectedly unveiled significant updates about the popular game Splatoon. Not only are we expecting a standalone single-player version of Splatoon coming out this week, but there’s also an upcoming update for Splatoon 3 on the Nintendo Switch, which is exciting news for fans of the paint-splattering shooter series. This adds another reason to dive back into the praised third game.

On their YouTube channel, they’ve unveiled that the standalone version is titled Splatoon: The Raider Squad. Set for release on Nintendo Switch 2, this upcoming adventure sends players to the Shiralite Islands alongside the Deep Cut team. As of now, details about the spinoff are scarce since Nintendo hasn’t disclosed a launch date, but it appears to share similarities with the single-player Splatoon campaigns from games 2 and 3.

Luckily, there are plenty of details for the upcoming Splatoon 3 update for Switch 2.

On June 12th, a significant free upgrade will be available, compatible with both the original Nintendo Switch and the new Switch 2. Labeled as version 10.0.0, this update introduces the Splatlands collection to the game, which includes weapons modeled after previous titles. Moreover, the iconic Urchin Underpass from the original Splatoon will be reintroduced in this upgrade, offering players a trip down memory lane with a reminder of the beloved Wii U classic.

Of course, with the arrival of the Switch 2, fans can expect an enhanced gaming experience when playing Splatoon 3. The resolution and visuals are set to improve noticeably, and performance should become even smoother, although the game currently runs well on the original Switch. Additionally, cross-play between both systems will be introduced, but it seems that online play may prioritize Switch 2 users.

Overall, it’s an exciting moment for fans of the game Splatoon, as their excitement was heightened when Nintendo made the announcement following the Summer Game Fest, which added a touch of humor to the situation.
