Metroid Ravenous Confirmed as Next 2D Title

·
The Metroid train keeps moving on as we’ve gone back to the 2D games, thanks to Nintendo unveiling Metroid Ravenous during the September 9 Showcase.
You could argue the long wait for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond wasn’t completely worth it. Nevertheless, a new ‘Prime’ game was needed, but now it’s time to reduce the dimensions and go back to some side-scrolling Samus shenanigans in Metroid Ravenous.
Nintendo Direct Debuts Metroid Ravenous
On July 1, a new Metroid game for Nintendo Switch 2 appeared online, titled ‘Metroid Ravenous.’ On September 9, the new Metroid game was confirmed, and it’s launching on January 28, 2027 exclusively on Nintendo’s latest console.
A new 2D Metroid game has been rumored and theorized for the longest time, even since before Metroid Prime 4. Now, we’ve gotten our first trailer, thanks to the Nintendo Direct.
