Splatoon Raiders kicked off as a tower-defence prototype before moving to a loot shooter setup. Leads said the adjustment returned Splatoon’s core identity after the opening design strayed too far from its roots. A Nintendo Switch 2 launch build added bug repairs and gameplay adjustments. Online subscribers now get exclusive social media symbols and user-chosen profile avatars. New domestic ads show the game’s bigger roster and gacha mechanics. Reviews call the game a mix of loot-hunting and shooter rhythm, though some note it is short on the visual shine of past Splatoon games.
