Nintendo has launched a limited-time Splatoon Raiders theme event in Tetris 99 that ties the new Switch 2 exclusive adventure into the Switch Online battle royale.
The event runs from August 7–10, 2026, and gives players the chance to unlock a Splatoon Raiders-themed pack — including art, music and bespoke Tetrimino designs — by earning event points in Tetris 99.
Tetris 99, the Nintendo Switch Online-exclusive battle royale variant of the classic puzzle game, will credit event points to players who participate during the window.
According to Nintendo’s event rules, earning 100 event points unlocks the full theme package inspired by Splatoon Raiders.
The Splatoon franchise and its latest entry remain products of Nintendo, with Splatoon Raiders released exclusively for the Switch 2 earlier this year and widely covered in outlets such as Nintendo Life.
Nintendo Life’s review of Splatoon Raiders described it as the franchise’s strongest single-player outing to date and praised the title for its visuals, frame-rate performance and social options.
In journalistic terms, the outlet said Splatoon Raiders looks great and runs smoothly, offers robust co-op and multiplayer modes that let friends and family play together across most of the experience, provides strong value at its asking price, and stands as an accessible, highly recommended title for a broad audience.
In addition to the Splatoon Raiders event, Tetris 99 is currently running a limited-time discount on 41 collaborative themes.
That sale is scheduled to remain available through August 17, 2026, offering players a window to pick up multiple theme packs at reduced prices.
Access to Tetris 99’s events and theme shop requires an active Nintendo Switch Online membership.
For players looking to participate: boot Tetris 99 on a Nintendo Switch with an active Switch Online subscription between August 7 and August 10, 2026, and accrue event points through standard online matches.
Reaching 100 event points will unlock the Splatoon Raiders-themed art, soundtrack elements and Tetrimino designs for use in-game.
This crossover continues Nintendo’s recent push to tie Switch 2 releases back into its broader Switch ecosystem via themed content and limited-time promotions, keeping players engaged across both the classic Switch library and new Switch 2 exclusives.
