‘Metroid Ravenous’ Announced for Switch 2, Coming January 28
MercurySteam’s retweet and LinkedIn post have fueled speculation that the Spanish studio is developing the new 2D Metroid entry.
- Spanish studio MercurySteam appears to be developing Metroid Ravenous, confirmed today by sharing the game's trailer on social media following yesterday's Nintendo Direct showcase.

- Metroid Ravenous is scheduled for release exclusively on Switch on January 28th, 2027, continuing the Metroid Series with a vibrant new entry.
