Nintendo Direct: Splatoon Raiders now has a June 30, 2026 stream date, and Nintendo is pairing it with a Nintendo Treehouse: Live broadcast afterward. The 15-minute showcase gives players a fixed window for the next look at Splatoon Raiders before July 23.
That matters because the Direct is not the only appointment on the calendar. Nintendo also set the start times at 7 a.m. PDT and 10 a.m. EDT, which makes the reveal easy to track for players and a clean promotional beat for a game heading to Nintendo Switch 2.
June 30 And 15 Minutes
The Splatoon Raiders Direct will run roughly 15 minutes, which makes it a compact first look rather than a broad feature presentation. Nintendo has already used the June 30 slot to put a time stamp on the showcase, and that gives players a narrow window for new details instead of the vague rollout that often follows a game announcement.
Splatoon Raiders was announced last June as an upcoming Splatoon spinoff and a follow-up to Splatoon 3. The game is a single-player survival adventure, so the Direct is the first clear opportunity to show how that structure works in motion rather than on paper.
Treehouse After The Direct
The new part of the schedule is the Nintendo Treehouse: Live broadcast that follows the Direct. The complication is simple: the Direct itself was already known about since June 9, so the new information is the extended gameplay look afterward, not the existence of the showcase.
That second broadcast matters more than a standard trailer because it usually means longer playtime footage and a less compressed explanation of systems. For players, that is the part most likely to clarify how treasure hunting across the Spirhalite Islands and battles with Salmonids actually play in Splatoon Raiders.
Frye, July 23, And Price
Frye will also appear in a new Splatoon Raiders amiibo figure released on July 23, alongside Shiver and Big Man. Nintendo set each Splatoon Raiders amiibo at $24.99, while the game itself is priced at $49.99 for the digital version and $59.99 for the physical version.
July 23 now sits as the clean handoff point between marketing and launch: the game lands on Nintendo Switch 2 the same day the new amiibo arrive. For anyone waiting on Splatoon Raiders, the June 30 Direct is the stop that should tell them whether the game’s mechanics are ready for a deeper look before release.
