The video game industry saw several major announcements regarding upcoming titles and hardware. Navegante Entertainment and Team17 revealed Greak 2: Alliance of the Storms, a Metroidvania sequel scheduled for 2027 that introduces cooperative play and follows siblings Greak and Adara in the land of Synoraz.

Following this, a Nintendo Direct presentation announced Metroid Ravenous, a 2D side-scrolling sequel to Metroid Dread developed by MercurySteam. The title is set for an exclusive launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 on January 28, 2027. The game is expected to feature a more aggressive tone for protagonist Samus Aran, who must survive on an unknown moon by utilizing a central gameplay mechanic described as an “energy absorption ability.”

The announcement also showcased Samus in upgraded Chozo armor and indicated the presence of more dialogue than in previous entries. To coincide with the launch, Nintendo confirmed new Amiibo figures, including a Samus Aran figure and a Chozo statue, arriving on January 28. The game’s survival theme is further encapsulated by the concept of “eat or be eaten.” Further details indicate that this energy absorption system may influence Samus’s appearance, with trailers depicting her in a “glowing green suit.” A Special Edition will also be released, featuring a SteelBook and a third Samus Amiibo in a Metroid-themed suit.

Other notable announcements for the Switch 2 platform included Kirby and the World Beyond, scheduled for spring 2027, Monster Hunter Wilds, Persona 4 Revival, Resident Evil remakes, and Final Fantasy VII Revelation, which is arriving in April 2027. The presentation also addressed existing hardware with updates for Mario Kart World and various enhanced editions of classic titles. Recent details further specified that Monster Hunter Wilds is slated for December 2026 and noted the upcoming release of Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave.
