Both Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave could be coming soon

Both Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave have recently been rated by PEGI, the European equivalent of the ESRB. This usually happens when the game is about to launch, which means it's quite likely both Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave will be released within months. While this may seem too soon, the games' release dates of summer 2026 would be in line with previous leaks that were confirmed by reliable sources and given further credence by Nintendo itself.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave and Splatoon Raiders were part of the big Switch 2 Summer 2026 leaks that claimed to reveal the big games Nintendo has planned for the console this summer. Another game mentioned in the leaks was Rhythm Heaven Groovewhich Nintendo has confirmed a release date of summer 2026. This makes it easier to believe the other claims in the leak, and with the PEGI ratings working, it certainly seems like both Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave and Splatoon Raiders are indeed coming out this summer, though fans should keep their expectations in check. While games usually come out shortly after they receive their age rating, there have been instances where games have been delayed and taken much longer to launch, so fans should keep that in mind.

What other Switch 2 games are on the way?

Assuming the leak was accurate, new Star Fox game, a Nintendo Switch Sports issue of some kind and Pikmin 4: Nintendo Switch Edition 2 are also potentially launching this summer. Nintendo is likely to hold a Nintendo Direct presentation this June where these projects will be properly introduced, so fans should stay tuned for more information.
