Nintendo has confirmed new amiibo figures for Splatoon Raiders, announcing that three characters—Shiver, Big Man and Frye—will receive refreshed figure designs and be sold together as a single set.
The company said details about how the new amiibo will function in-game will be provided at a later date.
Background and context
The Splatoon franchise has long paired its releases with amiibo figures, beginning with the original Splatoon on Wii U and continuing through subsequent mainline entries.
Amiibo for Splatoon 3 included figures for characters such as Shiver, Big Man and Frye, and Nintendo’s latest announcement extends that amiibo support into the new Splatoon Raiders release.
Splatoon Raiders itself is part of Nintendo’s broader Splatoon universe and is positioned for Nintendo Switch players.
What Nintendo announced
In a statement accompanying today’s announcement, Nintendo confirmed it will release three amiibo for Splatoon Raiders—Shiver, Big Man and Frye—each featuring updated designs and packaged together as one retail set.
Nintendo also noted that specifics about in-game rewards or interactions tied to the new amiibo will be disclosed in a future update.
The company released a new trailer and shared the game’s release date alongside the amiibo news.
Why this matters
Amiibo releases have historically provided cosmetic items, challenges or bonus content across the Splatoon series, and they remain a notable revenue and engagement mechanism for Nintendo.
Collectors and players who purchased earlier Splatoon 3 figures may be particularly interested in the updated designs.
Selling the three figures as a single set follows precedent for bundled amiibo offerings and simplifies retail availability for collectors.
Where to expect them
As with most first-party Nintendo products, the amiibo set will likely appear on the Nintendo eShop pages tied to Splatoon Raiders and at retail outlets that carry Nintendo merchandise.
Nintendo typically outlines regional availability and pricing closer to release, and those details should appear in future communications or during upcoming Nintendo Direct presentations.
The announcement reinforces Nintendo’s continued use of amiibo to support Splatoon titles and provides fans with a clear signal that collectible support will accompany Splatoon Raiders on Nintendo Switch.
