Nintendo dates Metroid Ravenous for Switch 2 on January 28, 2027

Nintendo just dropped a brand-new 2D Metroid. Metroid Ravenous was revealed in the September 9 Nintendo Direct and launches exclusively on Switch 2 on January 28, 2027. Samus is marooned on an unfamiliar moon after an ambush, navigating labyrinthine ruins and using newly awakened Metroid instincts to devour foes — beams, missiles, and aggressive melee included. Digital standard is listed at $59.99 (physical $69.99). A Metroid Ravenous amiibo lineup (Samus + Chozo Statue) lands the same day, with a Special Edition bundling a Samus (Metroid Suit) amiibo and steel case.
