In this single-player-focused adventure, play as a mechanic working with Deep Cut—a trio of swashbuckling musicians—and venture out into the mysterious Spirhalite Islands!
Customize your character, kit yourself out with mechanical gadgets and ink-splattering weapons, and take on waves of enemy Salmonids as you raid the islands for treasure.
It’s not just you out there, though. One member of Deep Cut will raid alongside you in a powerful bot. You can also join with up to three other players online or via local wireless.

just watched the trailer again. this looks so fun

It's $49.99 digitally and $59.99 physically.

There was a whole thread here (and discourse online) arguing about how they were hiking up the price of physical games

Look who's wrong now

huge win for digital owners

this makes the Costco deal even better

Playing splatoon again and honestly good thing this is single player becuz most of the people that still play are trash as f***

Meanwhile I just copped 3 and can barely kill somebody

I was waiting on 4 because I figured 3 was dead by now

nah, splatoon fans are hardcore. i think splatoon 2 is still alive. not super active, but active enough you can find matches.

Tune in on June 30 at 7:00 a.m. PT for a livestreamed Splatoon Raiders Direct 6.30.2026 presentation.
The presentation will last approximately 15 minutes.

where’s the Splatoon love

Splatoon is cool

no Switch 2

Single player splatoon is universally not liked so im not shocked at no one caring

I had a ex gf that was unemployed and she put like 200 hours into splatoon 2 on my switch

Fun game

This.

You were wrong lol cause fire emblem is $70 digital and $80 physical lmfao

Octo expansion one of the greatest campaigns of last decade but i dont expect ball knowledge in this site

i’ve been wanting to get into splatoon, i’m debating between this or splatoon 3, so i’m looking forward to seeing more

Octo Expansion for Splatoon 2 is one of my favorite DLCs of all time

that’s the first I’ve ever heard that, the single player stuff is beloved that’s why the DLC is mostly single player lol

Also this is co-op too like salmon run which is the best mode

As a huge salmon run fan, this looks like a glorified Salmon Run game.

When they said singleplay, i was expecting something else I guess.

I'll def buy it because Splatoon is always fun to me, but I hope its more than just Salmon Run.

Plus, hopefully they can capture the difficulty of Salmon Run or it has already faltered.

This direct made more more annoyed we're not getting Splatoon 4 tbh

this is salmon run full stop.

i just hope this means all these weapons and movement will be implemented in multiplayer in the future

my gosh

damn this looks awesome, i'll def be getting this
