Metroid Ravenous, the latest entry in the 2D Metroid series, has been revealed via Nintendo Direct. It is the first new 2D Metroid title in six years.
The trailer features Samus Aran, showing a mysterious group attacking her alongside action clips where she appears to drain energy. The video concludes with the phrase 'Eat or be eaten.'
The Metroid series is one of Nintendo's flagship franchises. Metroid Dread, a 2D entry, was released in 2021, and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond was launched in 2025.
Metroid Ravenous will launch on January 28, 2027, with an amiibo and Special Edition releasing on the same day as the software.
