One month, one comic, a whole lot of ink
With exactly one month to go until Splatoon Raiders splashes onto Switch 2, Nintendo decided to keep fans entertained the old-school way: with daily comic strips. The new mini-series follows the Surimi Clan and is rolling out in bite-sized episodes through the Nintendo Today app.
A 30-day ink-filled countdown
The comic, titled “The Surimi Clan’s Misadventures at Sea,” launched on June 23 and will run one short episode per day until the game’s release on July 23. Think of it like an advent calendar, but with more chaos, squids, and questionable navigation choices.
What you’ll see in the strips
Each chapter gives a quick peek at the islands, characters, and calamities the Surimi Clan faces — basically little teases for what to expect in the game. The first episode, “Forced Landing,” is already available, and new installments unlock daily so you can follow along like a very patient, very ink-stained soap opera fan.
Yes, there’s multiplayer too
For those worried this is strictly single-player drama: Splatoon Raiders does include cooperative play. You’ll be able to team up with up to three friends online or locally, so you can share the glory (and the blame) when things go sideways.
About the game
Splatoon Raiders is a spin-off that sends players exploring the mysterious Spiral Islands, leaning into single-player adventures while still offering co-op fun. Nintendo has already revealed price, mechanics, and amiibo compatibility. The game launches July 23, 2026, exclusively on Switch 2 and is priced at 59 euros. There’s also a special console bundle for anyone still hunting down the hardware.
How to follow along
If you have the Nintendo Today app on your phone, you can read the first Surimi Clan comics right now. Check back each day for a new slice of chaos until it’s finally time to pick up the controller on launch day. Consider this your official warm-up for a summer of ink.
