Splatoon Spinoff Coming this Year, Splatoon 3 Update Coming June 12

Nintendo is not leaving one of its biggest franchises out of the Switch 2 fun. A brand new spinoff game set in the Splatoon 3 universe is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. The game is titled Splatoon Raiders. A brief description from Nintendo about the new titles says the following: 

“In the role of a mechanic, players will go on an adventure in the mysterious Spirhalite Islands alongside the splat-tacular Deep Cut trio.”

Not only that, but a free update is coming to Splatoon 3 on Thursday, June 12 for both the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. This will bring the game to version 10.0.0 and bring several updates including 30 new weapons, the return of the stage Urchin Underpass from the original Wii U version of Splatoon and more. Switch 2 owners will also see the game receive updated visuals and performance in a variety of locations in the game. Cross play between Switch 1 and Switch 2 was also confirmed. You can check out the Japanese and English language trailers below.
