A game called 'Metroid Ravenous' briefly appeared on the rating classification system of Brazil's Department of Justice and Public Policy before being pulled. The entry, filed by Nintendo of America, lists a 2026 production year, violent content, and a rating for ages 12 and up. The title omits the 'Prime' branding, which would indicate a 2D side-scrolling entry rather than a first-person adventure. The last new 2D Metroid game was 2021's Metroid Dread. Overseas outlets report the listing specified the Nintendo Switch 2 as the platform. The information remains accessible through the Internet Archive.
