Summary
Brazil’s Justice Ministry documents showed Metroid Ravenous with a 12+ violence rating and a 2026 release window, confirming the game’s existence before the listing was removed.
Nintendo has not announced the title, and the filing does not confirm whether it is the long-rumored new 2D Metroid game.
The leaked classification was tied in earlier reports to Switch 2 and included violence-related descriptors, adding weight to speculation around the project’s platform and scope.
Metroid Dread, the last 2D entry, launched in 2021, making Ravenous Nintendo’s first newly surfaced Metroid title in that line in five years.
