Nintendo aired a roughly 15-minute Splatoon Raiders Direct on June 30 at 7am PT (10am ET) that concentrated on the game’s single-player features, new Switch 2 footage, and multiplayer SOS help. The presentation highlighted single-player-focused content and confirmed that the full game can be played in co-op, a point revealed late in the broadcast. Nintendo followed the Direct with around 30 minutes of additional Treehouse Live gameplay footage. Eurogamer and other previews had noted a 30-minute gameplay session ahead of the stream, and attendees saw more detail on customization, movement, and raid-style encounters that echo Salmon Run. Reaction from viewers and creators emphasized hopes the game will offer substantial content and co-op depth, while some noted the presentation did not introduce many new characters. Next steps signaled by the Direct include extended Treehouse coverage and community reaction shaping expectations for Splatoon Raiders on Switch 2 ahead of release.
