A new exclusive for the Nintendo Switch 2 was unceremoniously revealed through Nintendo Today, the mobile app that provides daily updates on the company's first-party franchises. The new system's launch lineup has been sparse with regard to exclusive titles, with the only new ones being Mario Kart World and Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, both of which cracked the Switch 2's bestsellers list in the console's first week.
On June 10, however, Nintendo revealed the first ever Splatoon spin-off game via the Nintendo Today app, titled Splatoon Raiders. The announcement came with a very short teaser showing the trio Deep Cut being stranded on an island after a helicopter crash with a character simply referred to as a mechanic, who appears to be the playable protagonist. More franchise news came in the same reveal with the announcement of a Switch 2 upgrade coming to Splatoon 3 by way of a free update dropping on June 12.
