Rumor — Brazil's Ministry of Justice and Public Security Leaks the Existence of Metroid Ravenous for the Nintendo Switch 2 via Age Rating
- A new title, "Metroid Ravenous," appeared in a filing by the Brazilian Ministry of Justice and Public Security on Wednesday, July 1, 2026.

- Brazilian journalist Necro Felipe Lima shared that the rating resulted from about 41 minutes of material, earning a 12+ recommendation for violence and light sexual content.
- Polygon reached out to Nintendo for comment, but the company has not confirmed the title; Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa previously stated the company is preparing new titles for the Nintendo Switch 2 this year.
- Longstanding rumors suggest a Super Metroid remake is in development, which aligns with Nintendo's efforts to finalize its second-half 2026 lineup outside of The Legend of Zelda.
