Nintendo created Splatoon Raiders as a spin-off instead of Splatoon 4 to offer a new entry point into the series with a single-player, roguelite adventure, moving away from the franchise's standard competitive formula. The developers wanted to release non-competitive elements as a standalone game, while continuing to develop competitive gameplay in future titles.
