9 September, 2026 il2k 0 Comments 1 category

Metroid Ravenous is set to launch exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 on January 28, 2027. A follow-up to Metroid Dread, it’s a new 2D side-scrolling adventure for Samus, the space-faring bounty hunter. The game will be available in two editions (see it at Amazon), and will launch alongside some new amiibo figures. Read on for full details.

Metroid Ravenous – Special Edition

Get it at Amazon – $119.99
Get it at Best Buy – $119.99
Get it at Nintendo Store – $119.99

The special edition of Metroid Ravenous comes with the game, plus the following items:

Steelbook case
Samus (Metroid Suit) amiibo

Note that this amiibo is exclusive to the special edition and is not available separately.

Metroid Ravenous – Standard Edition

Physical

Get it at Amazon – $69.99
Get it at Best Buy – $69.99
Get it at GameStop – $69.99
Get it at Nintendo – $69.99

Digital

Get it at Nintendo – $59.99

The standard edition comes with the game on the cartridge – something you can’t always count on for Switch 2 games, even first-party titles (looking at you, Pokémon Pokopia). Per usual for recent Nintendo releases, physical copies cost $10 more than digital.

Walmart and Amazon have been known to knock $10 physical copies, so keep an eye out for that if you want a physical copy.

Metroid Ravenous Amiibo Figures

Releasing alongside the game are two additional amiibos: Samus and Chozo Statue.

What Is Metroid Ravenous?

In the trailer, Samus says, “I was attacked by unknown assailants and sustained grave injuries. I don’t know where I am, getting back to the surface won’t be easy. My chances of getting off this moon are slim at best. Still… 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.”

Sounds like a Metroid game, which means I’m fully on board. Metroid Dread got a 9/10 in its IGN review. It was a tough game, but fair.
