Nintendo doesn't like to name developers early, but Metroid Ravenous fans think the Dread studio has already given the game away

Metroid Dread developer MercurySteam has seemingly confirmed that it is the developer behind Metroid Ravenous. Nintendo has generally been a bit peculiar compared to most major publishers for as long as it has existed. But one of the strangest things the company has done as of late is its complete reluctance to announce who is actually developing its games. You'll typically have to wait until the game releases or, at the very least, reviews release to find out what studio is behind the title; for example, Xenoblade developer Monolith Soft may be behind the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake.
