Splatoon Raiders is scheduled for July 23 on Nintendo Switch 2 and is a single-player-focused spin-off of the Splatoon trilogy. It is expected to emphasize story more strongly than earlier single-player experiences. The game’s setting centers on a post-apocalyptic world where humans have died out after the Great Flood. Cephalopod-based humanoids called Inklings and Octolings can switch between humanoid and cephalopod forms, using ink for fast movement and for operating ink-shooting weapons. Their sports include Turf War, Tower Control, and Rainmaker, a capture-the-flag style mode. Regular water is lethal to these creatures.
"Splatoon Raiders is a single-player-focused spin-off of the wildly popular Splatoon trilogy, and while it features similar gameplay, a lot of the game's other elements are very, very different from what we've grown used to in the other Splatoons. Specifically, Splatoon Raiders looks like it will be far more story-focused than even the single-player bits of Splatoons 1, 2, and 3, which means it's a good time to brush up on our collective Splatoon lore and come up with some wild theories together!"
"Splatoon takes place in a post-apocalyptic version of our world where humans have died out, and after an event known as the Great Flood, a new race of cephalopod-based humanoids have risen to take our place. These creatures are known as Inklings, if they're based on squids, and Octolings, for the ones based on Octopuses. These creatures are able to shift back and forth between a humanoid form and a cephalopod form at will, with the latter being able to swim in ink and move quickly and the former being able to operate guns and other tools."
"This is useful, as the favorite pastime of these creatures is to engage in various forms of sport that involve ink-shooting guns that splatter the play space in different colors, allowing for contests like Turf War (covering as much space in your team's color as possible), Tower Control, and a capture-the-flag mode known as Rainmaker, among others. Oddly, none of these creatures are able to survive in regular water."
