MercurySteam, the studio behind Metroid Dread, appears to confirm it is making Metroid Ravenous, a new Metroid game revealed during a Nintendo Direct presentation.

The appearance of the confirmation follows the game’s earlier public trail, including its listing on Brazil’s ratings board. After the Nintendo Direct, outlets reported lingering uncertainty about who is developing Ravenous, but both sources now point to MercurySteam as the likely developer based on the studio’s apparent acknowledgment.

While the articles focus on the same identification, their wording differs: My Nintendo News frames it as a “surprise” and emphasizes the confirmation stemming from MercurySteam, whereas Eurogamer specifically describes the studio’s response as addressing a lingering question created by the Direct reveal. Neither source provides additional confirmed details about release timing, platforms, or gameplay beyond the developer attribution.
