Game Informer News

We're just a few weeks away from the launch of Splatoon Raiders, the Nintendo Switch 2-exclusive PvE Splatoon spin-off, and we got another look at it during today's Nintendo Direct. Launching July 23, today's Splatoon Raiders trailer highlights more of the third-person shooter gameplay players can expect in the game.

Plus, Nintendo has announced it will host a Splatoon Raiders Nintendo Direct on June 30. It also revealed that in the Nintendo Today app, you can see the Splatoon story events leading up to Raiders with daily comics ahead of launch. There will also be a Splatoon Raiders Splatfest in July.

Check it all out in the latest Splatoon Raiders trailer below:

In Splatoon Raiders, players will control a customizable Inkling mechanic who travels to a new setting called the Spirhalite Islands alongside Deep Cut, the trio of musicians from Splatoon 3. There, your mechanic and Deep Cut will fight off the villainous Salmonids using familiar paint-based weapons like guns, brushes, and more. Nintendo calls the game a "single-player-focused" Splatoon experience, but you can also play with up to three other players in online co-op.

Nintendo previously announced that when Splatoon Raiders launches on July 23, it will do so alongside three new Amiibo โ€“ Raiders versions of Shiver, Big Man, and Frye โ€“ and you can check them out in the image below:

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Beta Will Do Something No Previous CoD Beta Has

Activision has announced that the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 beta will have more than just multiplayer content. The MW4 beta will also include access to the campaign mission, Entrenched, along with the upcoming Warzone mode, Resurgence Zodiac(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/cod-modern-warfare-4-beta-may-include-a-new-warzone-map/). Activision will show off some of this content during the Call of Duty: Next event on August 21. As announced previously, the beta begins with an early access period August 21-25 for people who preorder, before opening up to everyone to try August 28-September 1. The early-access beta will not be available on Switch 2, as preorders for the Switch 2 version don't begin until August 28. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Screenshot-2026-08-14-at-10.47.27-AM.png) The MW4 beta approaches. Activision also revealed all the maps, modes, and content in the beta. You can find the full details in GameSpot's rundown of the MW4 beta(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-beta-dates-revealed-heres-how-to-get-in/). Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 releases on October 23 for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2, and preordering grants access to the campaign a week before launch(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-brings-back-campaign-early-access-heres-how-to-get-it/). The game coming to Switch 2 is notable since the franchise hasn't appeared on a Nintendo platform since 2013's Call of Duty: Ghosts. MW4 is also the first entry since Ghosts in 2013 to skip PS4 and Xbox One. Infinity Ward is leading development on the game, which comes after back-to-back Black Ops releases, the latter of which, 2025's Black Ops 7, had the worst sales ranking in the US since 2008(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/black-ops-7-had-call-of-dutys-worst-sales-year-ranking-in-the-us-since-2008/1100-6537567/). Also noteworthy for Modern Warfare 4 is that it will not launch directly into Xbox Game Pass, as both Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7 did.
