Splatoon Raiders' Nintendo Direct revealed single and multiplayer looter shooter gameplay plus deep customization, and creators immediately homed in on combat, characters, and gear. Posts break down the sky high Seasoned Salmonid Big Stack Stinger and how mobility from the Speed Tank and Frye's Showstopper cuts through its beam attacks.

I'll be sure to tune in. The game isn't far from release and seems like the good people of my small viewership are into the idea of me playing it!

The more I see this game the more I’m like “this looks kinda sick”. Am I gonna be a splatoon freak? Maybe but I may shift to solely being a Nintendo freak again

Actually really stoked to see more about this game. Its single player but also has co-op and a co-op focused Splatoon sounds pretty fun. Salmon Run was underrated imo

ok i maybe a tad concerned..

Splatoon Raiders looks like so much fun! I'm not very good at controlling Splatoon to begin with, but I hope to get better and be able to play with everyone!

Nintendo actually announced the Splatoon Raiders Direct and the date it was on over three weeks ago, I think everyone just forgot because it was busy summer showcase season 😅 Seeing a lot of posts like it's a sudden drop - this one actually isn't!
