Celebrate Splatoon Raiders Launch on the SDCC Showroom Floor, July 23-26: Calling first-time Splatoon players and longtime fans!

In this action-shooter, choose a tank and gadgets that suit your splatting style – try the Power Tank to smash Salmonids with brute force, the Speed Tank for mobility and finesse, or the Tactical Tank to control the battlefield – on an adventure across the mysterious Spirhalite Islands alongside the mischievous trio of swashbuckling musicians known as Deep Cut!
