Splatoon Raiders Nintendo Direct & Treehouse Live Set to Ink Your Week

Nintendo is doubling down on Splatoon Raiders coverage this week, announcing both a dedicated Nintendo Direct and a follow-up Nintendo Treehouse: Live session focused entirely on the upcoming spin-off. The Direct — which Nintendo unusually teased ahead of time during its June presentation rather than the typical 24-hour notice — is set to drop new details about the game, giving fans their most in-depth look yet at the squid-kid spin-off experience.

As if one showcase weren't enough, Nintendo Life reports that a Nintendo Treehouse: Live session will follow the Direct the very next day, offering "even more" Splatoon Raiders gameplay. The back-to-back coverage signals that Nintendo has a substantial amount to show for the title and is eager to build momentum heading into what is shaping up to be a big launch window. Eurogamer notes that this Direct is squarely Splatoon Raiders-focused, so Fire Emblem and Smash Bros. fans may want to temper their expectations this time around.
