A Brazilian classification entry for a title called Metroid Ravenous was briefly publicly accessible before being removed, showing the game listed for the Nintendo Switch 2 and a 2026 production year.
The Ministério da Justiça e Segurança Pública (Ministry of Justice and Public Security) entry was shared on social media by user Necrolipe, who posted evidence of the listing prior to its swift removal.
The leaked classification reportedly contained specific details about the submission.
According to Necrolipe’s post, which was translated into English, the review was carried out in Brazil using an internet link provided by Nintendo of America.
The material submitted for classification consisted of a single chapter of gameplay running for approximately 41 minutes.
The classification assigned a 12+ age rating, citing the presence of violence including weapons, blood, and death.
Paraphrasing the social media post: the Brazilian review was conducted via an online link from Nintendo of America, the provided material comprised one chapter lasting around 41 minutes, and the content was rated 12+ due to depictions of weapon use, blood, and fatalities.
This classification entry, as presented in the leak, explicitly named the platform as Nintendo Switch 2 and listed the production year as 2026.
The document was removed from public view shortly after Necrolipe shared screenshots and notes on social channels; the Ministério’s public-facing database no longer shows the listing.
Context: Metroid is Nintendo’s long-running franchise starring bounty hunter Samus Aran.
The most recent major 2D Metroid release, Metroid Dread, was developed by MercurySteam in collaboration with Nintendo and released for Nintendo Switch on October 8, 2021.
Metroid Dread was widely covered and reviewed across the industry and established MercurySteam as the studio responsible for that entry.
At present, the Brazilian classification entry is the primary source of these specific details for Metroid Ravenous.
Nintendo has not issued an official announcement about a title called Metroid Ravenous, nor has the company confirmed the Nintendo Switch 2 platform name or a 2026 production window for the Metroid franchise.
Coverage of this leak focuses on the classification record and the evidence shared by Necrolipe before the entry’s removal.
