Metroid Ravenous Launches on Switch 2 2027년 1월 28일, Nintendo Reveals

Nintendo announced Metroid Ravenous during the Nintendo Direct 9.9.2026 presentation on 2026년 9월 9일, revealing what the company describes as the latest game in the 2D Metroid series. Nintendo said the game arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 on 2027년 1월 28일.

Nintendo of America published a standalone announcement trailer on its official YouTube channel the same day. Titled Metroid Ravenous – Nintendo Direct 9.9.2026, the video runs one minute and 59 seconds. In the trailer’s description, Nintendo said the Metroid Ravenous amiibo lineup and Metroid Ravenous: Special Edition will be available on the same day as the game.

Trailer Narration and Premise

The trailer is narrated by Samus, who says she was attacked by unknown assailants and sustained grave injuries. She says she does not know where she is. Returning to the surface will be difficult, she says, and her chances of getting off the moon are slim.

The narration closes with Samus’s stated resolve: “I will survive and I will make it home. Even if I have to feed on my enemies to do so, it’s eat or be eaten.”

Metroid Ravenous holds a Nintendo Direct Spotlight placement on Nintendo’s official Nintendo Direct 9.9.2026 page. Its card, titled It’s Eat or Be Eaten, tells players to survive against a host of deadly foes in the game.

The Nintendo Direct 9.9.2026 Presentation

Nintendo Direct 9.9.2026 aired on September 9 at 7am PT / 10am ET. Nintendo said the livestream would last roughly 45 minutes and focus on Nintendo Switch 2 games launching this winter. The full presentation was published on Nintendo of America’s channel the same day.

According to Nintendo’s page, Nintendo Treehouse: Live | 2026년 9월 was scheduled to follow the Direct with gameplay of select titles featured during the presentation.

Nintendo describes Nintendo Direct as the online home for exclusive Nintendo news broadcast directly to players.
