Metroid Ravenous Launches January 2027 for Switch 2

Fans of the iconic bounty hunter have something huge to look forward to. During the latest Nintendo Direct, the company confirmed that Metroid Ravenous is officially in the works. This new 2D adventure is set to be a Switch 2 exclusive, marking a big step forward for the franchise on the new hardware.

Mark your calendars for January 28, 2027. Nintendo has already opened up pre orders on the eShop, so you can secure your copy ahead of the launch. It is exciting to see the series return to its 2D roots with what promises to be a massive production.

For those worried about storage space, Nintendo shared an estimated file size of 20.2GB. While that number might fluctuate slightly as the game nears completion, it gives players a solid idea of how much room they will need on their consoles. We cannot wait to see more gameplay footage as we get closer to the release date.
