Leaked Listing Suggests Possible New "Metroid Ravenous" Game Entry

A new entry for a possibly unannounced Metroid game has been spotted online. According to a report by Universo Nintendo, the Brazilian Ministry of Justice and Public Security listed a game titled Metroid Ravenous, although the listing was promptly removed from the website. Fortunately, a screenshot was taken by an editor before it disappeared, capturing the brief details of the listing.

The listing itself provides limited information, with only a production year of 2026 mentioned. Considering the lengthy development cycle of Metroid Prime 4, if Metroid Ravenous is indeed a new title, it is unlikely to follow the first-person adventure format unless it is a DLC expansion for Metroid Prime 4. More plausibly, should this listing be authentic, Metroid Ravenous could be another 2.5D side-scroller, especially given the success of Metroid Dread, which was released five years ago.

Metroid Dread was developed by the Spanish studio MercurySteam, known for their work on titles such as Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Metroid: Samus Returns. This particular game was exclusive to the Nintendo Switch and takes place after the events of Metroid Fusion, making it the latest installment in the Metroid series timeline.

In 2023, it was revealed that MercurySteam was developing "two large undisclosed titles," one of which turned out to be Blades of Fire, released last year. The status of the second title remains a mystery, leaving fans speculating about what it could entail.

As fans await further developments regarding Metroid Ravenous, excitement builds for what could be the next chapter in this beloved series. Stay tuned for more updates as information becomes available.
