I see 6 coming fairly early in the "Switch 2's" lifecycle. Prime 4 should be a launch title for the system, and Nintendo will need a follow up to keep the Metroid momentum going. Plus Dread sold very well. In fact I believe it's the best selling 2D Metroid by far.

My prediction: We'll see 6 in '26.

@JayLycien god i hope so. dread’s ending points the series in a really interesting direction, especially considering that they said it’s the end of the metroid species storyline
