MercurySteam and 505 Games are teaming up for the action-RPG

Metroid Dread Developer Teases Next Game Codenamed Project Iron

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.
