Metroid series director Yoshio Sakamoto has stated in a interview with CVG that he has no intention on another Metroid game and instead would like to create something different from Bounty Hunter Samus Aran.
“I do not intend to do so. There might [currently] be various tasks I might be involved in with past series. However, even if so I would always like to introduce new entertainment and new fun to those series.
I would like to satisfy fans of those series, but also working with other talented individuals I would like to create entertainment that’s completely different and that brings new emotions. I would like to challenge myself in those unique directions.”
