Dread came out in October 2021 so when Ravenous releases, it'll be 5 years and three months later, which is a fairly standard length for a major video game nowadays.

I know it sure doesn't feel like 5 years since Dread though, to me anyway, the years are flying by these days even if the months can drag.

Yeah. It definitely doesn't feel like 2021.

Thought the same. No Adam to guide you along presumably. I think this is a good change having her really lost this time. And make her even more pissed off. Is she going to steal the assassin's ship?

I hope so.

What the hell?  I would have never guessed it was that long.  Doesn't feel like it.

Not remotely surprising, but it's confirmed now that MercurySteam is the studio behind this one, same guys who did Dread:

I like Retro. I like the Prime games and liked 4. I think as good as Retro are. Their style of Metroid has become a little stale and in many areas in gameplay and presentation feel stuck in the Gamecube era. Movement esp for Samus. We now live in an era where FPS games give really nimble movement. Samus still feels like she's slow when in the 2D games she's is as nimble as a cat. I'd be willing to give MS a turn at Metroid in first person. Not Prime but a new sub series.



Bite my shiny metal cockpit!

Yep, next month it'll be 5 years which blows my mind a bit too frankly, I swear it feels more like 2 or 3.  

The fact we're also coming up on 10 years since Switch 1/BOTW messes with my head too.



Maybe it's because he's such an iconic and terrifying villain, but I still hope Ridley returns.
