A brief listing in the July 2026 edition of Brazil's Diário Oficial da União has drawn attention by naming an otherwise unannounced Metroid title: Metroid Ravenous.
The entry, which was later removed from the public record, identified Nintendo of America as both producer and distributor and assigned a content rating for the title.
The classification entry, published under Brazil's digital content rating authority, included the following factual details (translated): Title in Brazil: Metroid Ravenous; Original Title: Metroid Ravenous; Country of Origin: United States; Production Year: 2026; Producer(s)/Creator(s): Nintendo of America; Distributor(s): Nintendo of America; Proposed Rating: Not recommended for children under 10; Assigned Rating: Not recommended for children under 12; Content Descriptor(s): Violence; Interactive Element(s): Not applicable; Process Number: 08017.001246/2026-7.
The listing was shared online by users including an account known as Necrolipe.
In follow-up comments, Necrolipe said the rating decision was based on roughly "41 minutes of material," indicating that the materials submitted for review included a substantive sample of the title.
That statement, as reported, was paraphrased here in journalistic language: the source claimed the classification board reviewed approximately 41 minutes of content from the product.
The presence of a formal classification record demonstrates that a submission was made to Brazil's rating authority; obtaining local content ratings is a standard step when publishers prepare a title for release in a given territory.
Nintendo has not issued an official announcement regarding a Metroid Ravenous title, and no release platform or date has been confirmed by the company.
Context within the Metroid franchise: Metroid is a long-running Nintendo IP with entries across Nintendo platforms.
Recent mainline activity includes Metroid Dread (2021) from MercurySteam for Nintendo Switch, and the Metroid Prime subseries developed by Retro Studios on Nintendo hardware.
Nintendo commonly distributes Metroid titles through its digital storefront, the Nintendo eShop, and uses platforms such as Nintendo Direct to announce major releases.
This report is limited to verified details from the Brazilian classification entry and public statements by those who shared the listing.
Nintendo has not confirmed Metroid Ravenous.
Readers interested in official updates should monitor Nintendo's announcements and regional classification databases for any further records.
