Console players eager to pick up the upcoming game can preorder it on all platforms, including a $40 physical release available on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2(https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom32094gamespot?q=https%3A%2F%2Fredirect.viglink.com%2F%3Fkey%3Dfbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.bestbuy.com%252Fproduct%252Fratatan-playstation-5%252FJ3GWGV53F5%26cuid%3D--&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fmashup%2F%3Fplatform%3D1049&eventtype=click) that comes with a special preorder bonus item. A Digital Deluxe Edition with even more exclsuive content will also be available on all platforms, though preorders aren't live just yet. That said, PC players who don't want to wait for the final release can grab the Early Access version on Steam right now for just $25. Ratatan Preorder Bonuses !No Caption Provided(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/1701/17013431/4687672-4686516-ratatan%281%29.jpg)(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/1701/17013431/4687672-4686516-ratatan%281%29.jpg) Preordering the physical version of Ratatan will unlock the Legendary Spirit Sword Banbansord in-game weapon. This extra item is included with the PS5 and Switch 2 physical editions. Developer Ratata Arts has also confirmed it will be a bonus for the upcoming Digital Deluxe Edition, though preorders for that version aren't live. It does not appear to be part of the Steam Early access release. We'll update this section if other preorder bonus information is announced. Ratatan Standard Edition(https://redirect.viglink.com?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fproduct%2Fratatan-playstation-5%2FJ3GWGV53F5&cuid=--) $40 | Releases July 16(https://redirect.viglink.com?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fproduct%2Fratatan-playstation-5%2FJ3GWGV53F5&cuid=--) !(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/squaremedium/1701/17013431/4687670-ratatanpreordersmod.jpg) The standard physical edition of Ratatan includes the full base game on Switch or PS5. The Switch 2 version appears to be a normal game cartridge, not a Game Key-Card like other third-party Switch 2 releases, meaning you're getting all the game data on the cart so you can play right out of the box with no downloads or internet connection required. Preordering this version also gets you the Legendary Spirit Sword Banbansword in-game item. You can secure your physical Switch 2 or PS5 copy for $40 at Best Buy(https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom32094gamespot?q=https%3A%2F%2Fredirect.viglink.com%3Fkey%3Dfbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.bestbuy.com%252Fproduct%252Fratatan-playstation-5%252FJ3GWGV53F5%26cuid%3D--&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fmashup%2F%3Fplatform%3D1049&eventtype=click). A $35 digital standard edition will also be available on all platforms, though digital preorders are not yet available. We'll be sure to update once listings go live at other retailers.

Preorders aren't live yet, but you can expect listings to show up on PS5, Switch 2, and PC ahead of its July 16 release date. This version is $5 more than the digital standard edition and the same price as the physical standard edition, but packs in a few extra in-game items.

The Switch 2 exclusive is quite different from its predecessors, as it's a single-player focused experience that sees you battling hordes of Salmonids as you search the mysterious Spirhalite Islands for treasure. A few friends can tag along for a cooperative experience, but no doubt it's shaping up to be a truly different kind of Splatoon. It'll launch exclusively for Switch 2, and preorders are now open ahead of its arrival. It's available in a $60 physical edition(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GY1S2VCQ?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) and $50 digital version(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GY1JWJVW?tag=gamespot-preorders-20). There's also some cool Amiibo arriving alongside the game--like most Amiibo, we're expecting this to be popular, so check them out while you can. Splatoon Raiders (Physical Edition)(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GY1S2VCQ?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) $60 | Releases July 23(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GY1S2VCQ?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) !(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/squaremedium/1701/17013431/4687661-4686434-image-2026-04-22t081839.645.jpg) As mentioned above, Splatoon Raiders is launching with a $60 physical Edition on Switch 2. While there are no preorder bonuses or special editions, the physical version appears to include the full game data on the cartridge--which is also true of most other first-party Nintendo Switch 2 physical releases. Preorder at Amazon(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GY1S2VCQ?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) Preorder at Best Buy(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https://www.bestbuy.com/product/splatoon-raiders-nintendo-switch-2/J7GSL5C7QY) Preorder at GameStop(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/nintendo-switch-2/products/splatoon-raiders---nintendo-switch-2/445446.html) Splatoon Raiders (Digital Code)(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GY1JWJVW?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) $50 | Releases July 23(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GY1JWJVW?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) !(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/squaremedium/1701/17013431/4687664-splatdigi.jpg) If you want to save a few bucks, the digital version of Splatoon Raiders is just $50. Of course, the tradeoff here is you won't have a physical copy of the game, but otherwise, the digital version is identical to the physical. Digital preorders are available at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and the Nintendo eShop. Preorder at Amazon(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GY1JWJVW?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) Preorder at Best Buy(https://redirect.viglink.com?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fproduct%2Fsplatoon-raiders-nintendo-switch-2-digital%2FJCQ6HZFWKG&cuid=--) Preorder at GameStop(https://redirect.viglink.com?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamestop.com%2Fvideo-games%2Fnintendo-switch-2%2Fproducts%2Fsplatoon-raiders---nintendo-switch-2%2F445446.html&cuid=--) Along with the game itself, Nintendo also unveiled a trio of Splatoon Raiders Amiibo figures based on characters from this new entry in the Splatoon series. The three figures include Frye(https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom32094gamespot?q=https%3A%2F%2Fredirect.viglink.com%2F%3Fkey%3Dfbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d%26u%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fproduct%2Fnintendo-amiibo-frye-splatoon-raiders-multi%2FJ7GSL5J8PH&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fmashup%2F4%2F&eventtype=click), Shiver(https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom32094gamespot?q=https%3A%2F%2Fredirect.viglink.com%2F%3Fkey%3Dfbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d%26u%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fproduct%2Fnintendo-amiibo-shiver-splatoon-raiders-multi%2FJ7GSL5J8SL&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fmashup%2F4%2F&eventtype=click), and Big Man(https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom32094gamespot?q=https%3A%2F%2Fredirect.viglink.com%2F%3Fkey%3Dfbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d%26u%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fproduct%2Fnintendo-amiibo-big-man-splatoon-raiders-multi%2FJ7GSL5J8SQ&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fmashup%2F4%2F&eventtype=click), all of whom are part of the in-game musical group Deep Cut, which the player will join up with during Splatoon: Raiders' single-player campaign. Nintendo has yet to reveal what sort of content these Amiibo will unlock when scanned into Splatoon Raiders. We'd expect them to get you some sort of consumable items or useful in-game gear, but nothing official has been announced. Expect to learn more in the coming weeks. Until then, the Splatoon: Raiders Amiibo line launches the same day as the game, July 23. Preorders are available for $25 apiece at Best Buy. Keep in mind that most of the existing Splatoon Amiibo are sold out (or listed with inflated prices), so we're expecting the same to happen for these upcoming releases. !(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/squareavatar/1701/17013431/4687665-4686438-image-2026-04-22t082801.636.png) Splatoon Raiders: Frye Amiibo(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https://www.bestbuy.com/product/nintendo-amiibo-frye-splatoon-raiders-multi/J7GSL5J8PH) $25 | Releases July 23(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https://www.bestbuy.com/product/nintendo-amiibo-frye-splatoon-raiders-multi/J7GSL5J8PH) Preorder at Best Buy(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https://www.bestbuy.com/product/nintendo-amiibo-frye-splatoon-raiders-multi/J7GSL5J8PH) !(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/squareavatar/1701/17013431/4687666-4686439-image-2026-04-22t083219.016.png) Splatoon Raiders: Shiver Amiibo(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https://www.bestbuy.com/product/nintendo-amiibo-shiver-splatoon-raiders-multi/J7GSL5J8SL) $25 | Releases July 23(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https://www.bestbuy.com/product/nintendo-amiibo-shiver-splatoon-raiders-multi/J7GSL5J8SL) Preorder at Best Buy(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https://www.bestbuy.com/product/nintendo-amiibo-shiver-splatoon-raiders-multi/J7GSL5J8SL) !(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/squareavatar/1701/17013431/4687667-4686437-image-2026-04-22t081928.906.png) Splatoon Raiders: Big Man Amiibo(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https://www.bestbuy.com/product/nintendo-amiibo-big-man-splatoon-raiders-multi/J7GSL5J8SQ) $25 | Releases July 23(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https://www.bestbuy.com/product/nintendo-amiibo-big-man-splatoon-raiders-multi/J7GSL5J8SQ) Preorder at Best Buy(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https://www.bestbuy.com/product/nintendo-amiibo-big-man-splatoon-raiders-multi/J7GSL5J8SQ) If you haven't yet played Splatoon 3, it's currently on sale for just $47 (was $60) at Amazon(https://www.amazon.com/Splatoon-3-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B09T5SJQGV?tag=gamespot-promos-20&tag=gamespot-buybutton-20) and Walmart(https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom32094gamespot?q=https%3A%2F%2Fredirect.viglink.com%3Fkey%3Dfbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.walmart.com%252Fip%252Fseort%252F578169735&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fmashup%2F4%2F&eventtype=click). Our review(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/splatoon-3-review/1900-6417951/) gave it a 7/10, noting its fun single-player campaign and fun online multiplayer modes, though some online connectivity issues and lack of enemy variety held it back from greatness. Still, it's a fun family-friendly romp, and it's certainly worth checking out now that it's priced under $50.

🎮 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Multi-platformFinal Fantasy 14 Is Coming To Switch 2, But With An Annoying Caveat
Although Final Fantasy XIV's time on the PlayStation 4 might soon be coming to an end(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ffxivs-end-on-ps4-is-approaching-so-you-have-two-years-to-save-for-a-ps5/1100-6539618/), the critically acclaimed MMO RPG will soon show up on a new console: the Nintendo Switch 2. But while the prospect of grinding through raids and dungeons from the comfort of your own bed is certainly enticing, it turns out that this port comes with a strange caveat. Shortly after Square Enix CEO Takashi Kiryu announced Final Fantasy XIV would be coming to Switch 2 during the game's North American Fan Festival, Kiryu launched into an explanation of how subscriptions will work on the console. Whereas PC, Xbox, and PlayStation will all work with a standard Final Fantasy XIV subscription, the Nintendo Switch 2 requires players have a distinct subscription for just that console. Thankfully, players will not need a Switch Online subscription to play--though Kiryu did add that Final Fantasy XIV subscribers can get one for 50% less. Additionally, those with an active PC, Xbox, and PlayStation subscription will get 50% off a Switch 2 subscription. "After discussions with Nintendo, it was decided that the Switch 2 version of Final Fantasy XIV would require a separate subscription," Final Fantasy XIV director Naoki Yoshida added. "This was decided after many months of discussions with Nintendo and we understand this is different to how we've done things before."

!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/04/24/f4d627c6/vampsur.jpg.webp) There are some very exciting games coming out next week that we posted reviews for this week that you still need to wait for. I am sorry it worked out this way. We are not trying to brag that we already played Saros(https://gameinformer.com/review/saros/at-the-mountains-of-magnificence) and Diablo IV's Lord of Hatred expansion(https://gameinformer.com/review/diablo-iv-lord-of-hatred/embrace-the-hate). But we do want to let you know that they are good, we promise! We also reviewed Tide of Tomorrow(https://gameinformer.com/review/tides-of-tomorrow/an-effective-ripple-effect), though, and that one you can play right now. Thankfully, there is still plenty to get excited for this weekend. But before that, here are a bunch of the week's links that we recommend checking out. - Saros Review - At The Mountains Of Magnificence(https://gameinformer.com/review/saros/at-the-mountains-of-magnificence) - Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred Review - Embrace The Hate(https://gameinformer.com/review/diablo-iv-lord-of-hatred/embrace-the-hate) - Tides of Tomorrow Review - An Effective Ripple Effect(https://gameinformer.com/review/tides-of-tomorrow/an-effective-ripple-effect) - Xbox Drops Prices For Game Pass Ultimate And PC Game Pass But New Call Of Duty Games Will No Longer Join The Library At Launch(https://gameinformer.com/2026/04/21/xbox-drops-prices-for-game-pass-ultimate-and-pc-game-pass-but-new-call-of-duty-games) - Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Officially Announced(https://gameinformer.com/preview/2026/04/23/long-lost-treasure) - The Blood Of Dawnwalker’s Release Date And Other New Details Will Be Revealed Next Week(https://gameinformer.com/2026/04/22/the-blood-of-dawnwalkers-release-date-and-other-new-details-will-be-revealed-next-week) !Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2026/01/22/50782494/VCScreenshot5.jpg.webp) Vampire Crawlers Brian Shea As a diehard Vampire Survivors fan, I was intrigued to see Poncle's next project emerge as a dungeon-crawling deckbuilder. Vampire Crawlers brings over many of the same characters, weapons, powers, conventions, and enemies, but through recontextualizing them in this way, it flips the entire experience on its head. I'm having a blast exploring these maps in the first-person view, taking on swarms of enemies, pilfering loot, and building an ultimate deck en route to my ultimate demise at the hands of the monsters with whom I've spent tens of hours slaying in Poncle's previous smash-hit title. I haven't spent enough time in Vampire Crawlers to render my final verdict, but my early impressions are positive. !Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2026/04/24/18d41659/sayolore.jpg.webp) Sayonara Wild Hearts & Lorelei And The Laser Eyes Kyle Hilliard Earlier this week, Annapurna announced its plans to release some of its games on Switch 2 and that two would be available immediately: Sayonara Wild Hearts(https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/09/17/sayonara-wild-hearts-review) and Lorelei And The Laser Eyes(https://gameinformer.com/review/lorelei-and-the-laser-eyes/laser-focused-epiphany). I reviewed both of these games and you can find them by following the links. I like Sayonara Wild Hearts and listen to its soundtrack often. I particularly like its rendition of Clair de lune. The game feels like playing through an interactive music video. I feel stronger, however, about Lorelei And The Laser Eyes. When it was released in 2024, I booted it up not with the intention to play and beat it, but rather just to check it out so I could talk about it a little on a podcast. I was so quickly enamored with it, however, that I played through the whole game and wrote a review for it, which is not something I often do. It's just a great, moody, rewarding puzzle game with an interesting story that examines the ideas behind creating art and the value of doing so. If you happened to miss it in 2024 and you have a Switch 2 (and you like puzzles) I can't recommend it enough. !Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2026/04/24/c5644691/diablo%20iv%20boss%20fight.jpg.webp) Diablo IV Marcus Stewart With the impending launch of Diablo IV’s second big story expansion, Lord of Hatred, next week, this weekend is a great opportunity to return to Sanctuary. Whether it’s to shake off any rust, catch up on the story via the base campaign or the Vessel of Hatred expansion, or to stop Lilith for the first time, the existing package is already a strong experience worth playing. It’s also a good chance to re-familiarize yourself with the available content and features to appreciate what Lord of Hatred brings to the table (spoiler: it’s a fun expansion, as explained in my review(https://gameinformer.com/review/diablo-iv-lord-of-hatred/embrace-the-hate)). !Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/2026/04/24/ca3fac47/ss8824811010bf2e17a2cdec44effb76df67f6ac57.1920x1080.jpg.webp) Titanium Court Kyle Hilliard I often contend to anyone who will listen that 2015's You Must Build A Boat(https://gameinformer.com/games/youmustbuildaboat/b/ios/archive/2015/06/09/you-must-build-a-boat-review-game-informer.aspx) from designer Luca Redwood, to this day, is my favorite mobile game. It is the sequel to the also-excellent 10000000(https://gameinformer.com/blogs/editors/b/gikyleblog/archive/2012/11/30/10000000-is-the-perfect-mobile-game.aspx) and combines a great-feeling match-three puzzle game with some simple base building and RPG mechanics. Since playing those games, I have always been on the lookout for games that take match-three mechanics and combine them with rewarding upgrade systems in a comparable way. I am not far into Titanium Court, but it has the potential to hit those same high notes that I loved from Redwood's games, and it is wrapped in a clever narrative package that I am already fairly charmed by. In Titanium Court, you play a match-three puzzle game to collect resources and defend your home castle. Moving tiles feels good, and watching the defense battles play out as a result of the arrangement of the tiles is an interesting palette cleanser. I need to play more (and can now that Saros is kind of behind me(https://gameinformer.com/review/saros/at-the-mountains-of-magnificence)), but I am enjoying it so far. And while we're kind of on the topic of Luca Redwood games, you should also check out Photographs(https://gameinformer.com/review/photographs/captivating-vignettes-about-regrets), a great little puzzle game with small short stories that have really stuck with me even after all these years.

🎮 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Multi-platformFinal Fantasy XIV Is Coming To Nintendo Switch 2, But There's A Terrible And Expensive Catch
!Final Fantasy XIV Nintendo Switch 2 Separate Subs Expensive Terrible (https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/04/24/78192a49/finalfantasyxivevercold3.jpg.webp) Square Enix has revealed that its long-running MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV(https://gameinformer.com/product/final-fantasy-xiv) will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 this August – yay! But, there's a catch: to play it on Switch 2, you will need to buy a separate subscription even if you already have one to play the game on other platforms. Yes, playing FFXIV on Switch 2 plus other platforms like PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, or PC will require paying two separate subscriptions. Despite the subscription shenanigans, your Switch 2 account will feature cross-progression with your other accounts. Plus, Square Enix and Nintendo say you will not need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to play FFXIV on the Switch 2. This announcement was made during today's Final Fantasy XIV: Fan Fest opening ceremony keynote, where Square Enix also unveiled Evercold, the latest expansion for the game, launching in January 2027(https://gameinformer.com/2026/04/24/final-fantasy-14-evercold-expansion-revealed-coming-january-2027).
