Metroid Ravenous is scheduled to launch on January 28, 2027, alongside Until Dawn 2 and Fate/EXTRA Record. Nintendo has not confirmed the title through its own channels; the only public trace is a removed Brazilian rating board listing filed by Nintendo of America.
Metroid Ravenous first surfaced on July 2, 2026, through a listing on Brazil's rating agency website. The entry was filed by Nintendo of America, carried a 2026 production date, a 12+ age rating, and a descriptor for violent content. It was removed after appearing. The name lacks the Prime branding, which points to a 2D side-scrolling entry and the first since Metroid Dread in 2021. Overseas media reporting attached the listing to Nintendo Switch 2 as the target platform.
By September 18, 2026, the picture had changed from a leak to a dated release. A roundup of the 2027 winter calendar placed Metroid Ravenous on January 28, 2027, in a slot shared with Until Dawn 2 and Fate/EXTRA Record. The same roundup tied the crowded January and February schedule to announcements from events such as State of Play and Nintendo Direct, and noted Super Danganronpa 2x2 arriving on January 14. Persona 4 Revival and Oboro Muramasa Kaikitan were also named among the period's notable releases, with February holding a concentration of major dates.
What is settled is the date and the company behind the filing. What remains absent is any official Nintendo announcement, gameplay, staff, or platform confirmation beyond the overseas reports tied to the rating entry. Coverage has not returned to the leak since the date was reported.
