MercurySteam and 505 Games are teaming up for the action-RPG
In 2021, publisher 505 Games announced it was teaming up with MercurySteam on Project Iron. Little is known about the title. It's an action-RPG with a third-person perspective in a dark-fantasy setting. In 2023, MercurySteam co-founder Enric Alvarez told Gamereactor that Project Iron is a single-player experience built in the Mercury Engine.
MercurySteam is best known for making Metroid: Samus Returns and Metroid Dread with Nintendo, though previously also worked on the Castlevania series with Konami. From 2010-14, the developer created Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate, and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.
Meanwhile, 505 Games is known for publishing titles like Terraria, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, and Control. Almost a year ago, though, Remedy acquired all of the rights to the Control franchise from 505 Games.
