What is happening now
Metroid Ravenous: Special Edition is an upcoming shooter-platformer adventure launching on Nintendo Switch 2 in late January 2027. The game has already generated considerable retail activity ahead of release, with physical copies currently discounted by $10 for budget-conscious buyers. However, the lead-up hasn't been entirely smooth - the UK retailer Very cancelled a significant number of pre-orders for the £99.99 Special Edition, though details around those cancellations remain unclear. The announcement of Metroid Ravenous has also revitalized interest in the broader franchise; the earlier Metroid Dread climbed to the top of Nintendo's eShop charts in September 2026 following the reveal, suggesting considerable anticipation for the new entry.
