Leak/Rumor Megathread: July 2026

It's been a VERY long time since we last had to make one of these threads, but today has brought a big leak which is hard to keep fully contained! This thread is intended to give people a place to discuss this leak, while still keeping the sub safe for people who don't want to hear about it.

This thread is the only place where discussion of this leak is allowed. Threads and comments mentioning it outside of this thread will be removed, and users who persistently break this rule will be banned. That means, if you don't want to hear about the leaks, don't read this thread! Surprises are fun, and knowing about the leak won't make it come any sooner.

For those who DO want to discuss the leak, we'd like to stress:

  • Nothing is confirmed! The Metroid community has seen TONS of trustworthy rumors throughout the years, and they've often ended up to be false. You can decide for yourself how much stock you want to put into this particular rumor, but keep in mind that there's always some degree of risk.
  • Even if the leak does turn out to be real, it's still no indication that we'll get anything soon - remember, Prime Remastered was rumored for years before it finally got an announcement! While hoping and theorizing are good, don't expect anything to come in the next few years.
  • Enjoy the process! Leaks can be a TON of fun when you set your expectations properly! Just make sure knowing about the leak doesn't keep you from enjoying the official announcement, if we even get one.

New user flairs! What should we add next?

Good news, everyone! I was recently reminded that I can add user flairs! I just finished adding a couple dozen new options for everyone, from some of the mod team's internal brainstorming, and now I wanted to open it up for suggestions from the community!

What new flairs do you think we should we add?

Some things to keep in mind as you're making your suggestions:

  • Flairs have a 64-character limit, and any custom emoji we use counts against that
  • No spoilers, as per Rule #6
  • Poking fun at games is allowed (such as the new "Green Crystal Enjoyer" flair, or "THE BABY"), but no blatant bashing. Keep things fun!
  • If you're able to provide any art you want your suggested flair to use, that'd be very helpful! Especially if the art is official, or if you're the artist and can give us permission to use it!

We look forward to hearing your suggestions!
