We’re following a spicy Metroid rumour trail that just got louder. Per Nintendo Life, a rating for a project called Metroid Ravenous was recently spotted on Brazil’s rating website. That alone would be noteworthy for fans of the series, but VGC editor-in-chief Andy Robinson has now allegedly indicated there could be more than one Metroid project in the pipeline.
What Was Reported
According to Nintendo Life, a new rating for a project termed Metroid Ravenous appeared on Brazil’s rating website. That report prompted commentary from Andy Robinson, who, as quoted, said: "More than one of these are coming, I'm told. We eating, Metroid fans!" Take this with a pinch of salt — Robinson didn’t expand on specifics, and the only clearly stated follow-up context is that there have been rumours this year about a classic Metroid title receiving a makeover, as noted by Nintendo Everything.
The same reporting also draws a line to the recent past of the franchise: it notes that Retro Studio's title Metroid Prime 4: Beyond arrived on the Switch and Switch 2 last December after a well-documented, infamously drawn-out development cycle. For the 2D side of Samus’ catalogue, the most recent main entry mentioned is Metroid Dread, developed by MercurySteam.
The Source & Credibility
Who Spoke Up
We’re leaning on three named sources for this rumour chain: Nintendo Life for the initial report about the rating, Andy Robinson of VGC for the claim that more than one Metroid project may be coming, and Nintendo Everything for noting circulating rumours about a classic Metroid makeover. Each source is named explicitly in the reporting.
What To Make Of The Claims
Robinson’s line — "More than one of these are coming, I'm told. We eating, Metroid fans!" — is presented without expansion. That makes it a punchy claim but not one rich in verifiable detail. The appearance of a rating for Metroid Ravenous is a concrete item reporters flagged, but a rating does not equal an official announcement from the IP holder. Similarly, the mention of prior rumours about a classic Metroid makeover is explicitly framed as rumour in the reporting. In short: the individual pieces here are noteworthy but not definitive, and should be treated accordingly.
- Confirmed in Reporting: A rating for Metroid Ravenous was spotted (per Nintendo Life).
- Claimed by an Industry Editor: Andy Robinson allegedly said multiple Metroid projects could be coming.
- Contextual Notes: Rumours about a classic Metroid makeover have circulated this year, per Nintendo Everything, and prior Metroid releases were referenced in the reporting.
What It Could Mean
If true, Robinson’s claim that “more than one” Metroid project is on the way would reshape how we think about Nintendo’s immediate plans for the franchise. Multiple projects could mean simultaneous efforts across different teams, or a combination of remakes and new entries — but that is speculative beyond what the reporting says. The only clear details we have are the rating for Metroid Ravenous and the attributed quote hinting at multiple projects.
Another, safer interpretation is that Nintendo or partners could be exploring several directions for the property: one or more new titles, potential remakes of classic entries, or even smaller projects. Again, none of those scenarios are confirmed by the reporting — they’re possibilities that follow logically if the central claims prove accurate.
It’s also worth noting the reporting explicitly warns readers not to get too excited, reminding us there’s no guarantee these rumoured projects will lead to official announcements. That is an important caveat: a rating and an industry tip do not equal a release or a formal reveal.
Why This Matters
For Metroid fans, even the prospect of multiple projects is cause for cautious optimism. The franchise has recently seen major entries referenced in the reporting — Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on the Switch and Switch 2, and Metroid Dread from MercurySteam — and the idea of additional projects, if accurate, suggests Nintendo may be investing further in the series.
That said, we must remain sceptical. These are early signals: a rating and an unelaborated industry tip. We’ll continue to monitor developments and treat any further claims with the same balance of excitement and scrutiny. For now, the key takeaways are simple: a rating for Metroid Ravenous was sighted, an industry editor has allegedly said there’s more on the way, and none of it has been confirmed by an official announcement. Take it all with a pinch of salt — but keep your scanners tuned, Metroid fans.
