Nintendo has announced Metroid Ravenous, a new 2D action-adventure game starring Samus Aran and coming exclusively to Nintendo Switch 2.
The game is scheduled to launch on January 28, 2027. Nintendo describes it as an intense new 2D adventure that expands the Metroid lineup with another side-scrolling experience built around exploration and action.
Samus Returns to 2D Action
Metroid’s 2D adventures have traditionally emphasized exploration, ability upgrades, environmental discovery, and challenging encounters. Ravenous continues that lineage while being designed specifically for Nintendo Switch 2.
The announcement was part of Nintendo’s September 2026 Direct presentation, which also revealed additional Switch 2 titles and upcoming releases.
