Why Splatoon Raiders Is Happening Instead Of Splatoon 4

Fans were surprised when news broke that the team behind our favorite ink splashing game decided to work on Splatoon Raiders rather than moving straight to a fourth main entry. It turns out the development team had a specific goal in mind for the future of the series.

The main priority for this project was to provide a dedicated single player journey. By moving away from the structure of a standard sequel, the team wanted to focus on creating an experience that stands on its own rather than simply iterating on what came before.

This decision marks a big change for how the franchise handles its narrative and solo gameplay. We are looking forward to seeing how these fresh mechanics and story ideas shape up when the game finally hits consoles.
