Nintendo has exciting news for fans of the Metroid series: a brand new 2D game titled Metroid Ravenous is set to launch on January 28, 2027, exclusively for the upcoming Switch 2.
This latest installment appears to build on the success of Metroid Dread, incorporating 3D graphics while maintaining its 2D gameplay roots. Players can expect dynamic cinematic action, including thrilling enemy parries and the beloved Morph Ball mechanics that have become a hallmark of Samus's adventures.
A notable twist in Ravenous is Samus's ability to absorb energy from her enemies, a mechanism hinted at in Nintendo's promotional materials with the catchy tagline “eat or be eaten.” Gamers will face a variety of formidable adversaries, from colossal monsters to a cadre of menacing, futuristic warriors clad in capes.
