Nintendo Announces Metroid Ravenous 2D Game for Switch 2
During the September Nintendo Direct, Nintendo announced Metroid Ravenous, a new 2D Metroid game arriving for Nintendo Switch on January 28, 2027.
After the success of Metroid Dread, fans have eagerly awaited another challenging 2D Metroid game for years, making this announcement particularly resonant.
Samus wears fully-upgraded armor identical to her suit from Dread, while mysterious hooded aliens pursue her like the EMMI robots from that predecessor.
Navigating a subterranean, labyrinthian superstructure, Samus engages in one-on-one battles against bosses and assailants after being dropped into this dangerous environment.
Nintendo aired back-to-back Direct presentations this week, also unveiling Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time gameplay footage and highlighting the company's focus on classic franchises.
