The action-packed Metroid franchise is finally returning in 2021. So far the Japanese game development studio has rolled several iterations in this franchise. In today’s reveal the studio has shared a sneak peek of the 5th sequel that is coming to Nintendo Switch.

However, the recent venture by Nintendo in 2017 produced remarkable results with a remastered version of Metroid II and also released Metroid Samus Returns. The studio then followed this title with its fourth iteration in 2019, which was known as Metroid Primes.
