MercurySteam, the studio behind Metroid Dread, has officially teased Project Iron, a new collaborative title with publisher 505 Games. The project, first announced in 2021, remains largely under wraps, but a newly released teaser offers a small glimpse into what’s to come.

MercurySteam and 505 Games revealed their first official teaser for the long-anticipated Project Iron – a collaborative project that was announced in 2021.

In the fifteen second teaser that was released on February 6, the hammer rests atop an anvil, adorned with gold accents that catch the glow of a nearby fire. Sparks fly around it, but no further details are revealed. The teaser appeared on a brand new X account named “Project Iron.”

MercurySteam gained critical acclaim for Metroid Dread, released in 2021, while 505 Games is best known for its role in the development and publishing of titles like Control and Death Stranding.

As of now, no release window or gameplay details for Project Iron have been confirmed.
