Nintendo has confirmed the full amiibo lineup tied to Metroid Ravenous, the new side-scrolling Metroid title from MercurySteam, the studio behind Metroid Dread. The game launches January 28, 2027 on Switch 2, and the amiibo wave is launching right alongside it.
Three figures make up the lineup: a standalone Samus Aran amiibo at $24.99, a Chozo Statue amiibo at $44.99, and a third Samus figure in her Metroid Suit, which is exclusive to a $119.99 Special Edition bundle including the game itself and a steelbook case.
This is a genuinely new amiibo wave, not a reuse of figures tied to Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Ravenous is a 2D action-adventure built around an energy-siphoning survival mechanic, developed by a different studio, with its own distinct amiibo designs.
This guide breaks down what each figure costs, what makes the Chozo Statue figure unusual, and how this lineup differs from the Metroid Prime 4 wave already available.
The base Samus amiibo is priced at $24.99, in line with Nintendo's typical pricing for a standard single-character figure. This is the entry point for collectors who want a Metroid Ravenous piece without committing to the full bundle.
As with most first-party amiibo tied to a major release, expect this figure to see strong demand around the game's January 28, 2027 launch, especially among collectors who missed earlier Samus-themed releases.
At $44.99, the Chozo Statue amiibo is priced noticeably higher than the standard Samus figure, reflecting its more elaborate sculpt. Rather than depicting a character directly, it recreates the ancient Chozo monument imagery that has run through the Metroid series since its earliest games.
This kind of environmental or lore-object amiibo is less common than character-based figures, which makes it a genuinely interesting pickup for collectors who care about Metroid's deeper worldbuilding rather than just its protagonist.
The $119.99 Special Edition bundle includes the game itself, a steelbook case, and an exclusive Samus amiibo depicting her in a Metroid Suit design not available through either standalone figure. That exclusivity is the real draw of the bundle for amiibo-focused collectors.
Collectors who already plan to buy the game physically should weigh whether the Metroid Suit variant's exclusivity justifies the bundle price over buying the standalone Samus and Chozo Statue figures separately alongside a standard game copy.
Nintendo's amiibo support for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond centered on a single Samus Aran figure with confirmed in-game unlockable functionality tied to that specific title. Metroid Ravenous's lineup is a separate, later wave built around a different game, a different developer, and three figures instead of one.
Collectors who already own the Metroid Prime 4 amiibo should not assume it carries over any functionality into Ravenous — these are two distinct games from two different studios, and nothing confirmed so far suggests cross-compatibility between their respective amiibo lines.
Metroid Ravenous is a 2D side-scrolling action-adventure, following the design lineage MercurySteam established with Metroid Dread, rather than the first-person Metroid Prime formula. The reveal trailer centers on an energy-siphoning mechanic, with Samus draining power from defeated enemies to survive.
That genre and mechanical difference is part of why this amiibo wave reads as its own release rather than an extension of the Prime 4 merchandise cycle — the games themselves are built around fundamentally different gameplay.
With three separate amiibo tied to one launch date, and one of them exclusive to a premium bundle, early planning matters more than usual. Collectors who want all three designs need to decide now whether to buy the Special Edition outright or piece together the standalone figures separately.
Given Nintendo's track record with amiibo tied to major launches selling through quickly, locking in pre-orders well ahead of January 28 is the safer path for any of the three figures.
It is also worth deciding ahead of time whether you plan to scan any of these figures in-game or keep them sealed purely for display. MercurySteam has not detailed specific in-game functionality for the Ravenous amiibo the way Nintendo did for the Metroid Prime 4 figure, so collectors should not assume unlockable content carries over automatically.

With three figures of different sizes launching at once, matching each one to the right protector size matters more than usual. EVORETRO's small amiibo protector is sized for the standard Samus figure, while the Chozo Statue's larger footprint calls for the bigger case below.
