We're no longer oceans apart from the first proper single-player Splatoon experience, as Splatoon Raiders is launching just days away on July 23.
That's still plenty of time to secure your Splatoon Raiders pre-orders for $49.94 (Amazon) / £41.99 (Amazon) on the Nintendo Switch 2. In fact, those of you who have yet to grab your copy have the advantage of getting hold of some bonus gifts which were not available weeks ago. There are two different goodies up for grabs, including an official Splatoon Raiders lanyard if you pre-order at UK retailers like Very or TheGameCollection. Personally, I'm more privy to the Splatoon Raiders small towel, which is available if you pre-order straight from the Nintendo UK online store.
The small 35 x 55cm towel features a fresh Inkling and Octoling design and would be the perfect addition to your summer vacation, should you be planning to play some Splatoon by the beach. Unfortunately, I've only spotted both of these goodies at UK retailers so far, so any US fans will have to miss out. But if you're desperate for some ink-resting extras, you can still grab the new Deep Cut amiibo set from $24.99 at Nintendo instead. If you want to secure the new amiibo figures or the game before July 23, I've explored every drop of the internet to find you the best deals and gathered them down below.
