There might be some merit to those rumors about a new side-scrolling Metroid title we were telling you about just yesterday, if a tweet from VGC’s Andy Robinson is any indication.
It’s looking like Metroid Ravenous might be happening after all, and it’s equally likely that it might not be the only one planned to follow Samus’s last side-scrolled outing in Metroid Dread. We often think fondly of that one, despite it being nearly five years since we called it a masterpiece and a worthy addition to the franchise’s strong lineup. It clicked on all fronts as a great continuation of Samus’s adventures, whilst also bringing the franchise back into the spotlight after a long spell of dormancy.
If you weren’t keeping up, Ravenous was rated in Brazil before the error was quickly spotted and quietly erased. VGC did report on that one, and it seems like a bit of digging has allowed Robinson to unearth more about a planned announcement that’s being kept hush-hush for the time being.
Of course, the cat’s kind of out of the bag at this point, and we think the developers are better served putting out an official announcement sooner rather than later at this point.
