Metroid Dread is an upcoming main-series Metroid series game for Nintendo Switch. It was revealed at E3 2021.[1]
It shares the same name as the prototype Nintendo DS game. Since then Eurogamer has confirmed in an interview with Yoshio Sakamoto that this indeed effectively a continuation of the prototype, of which "graphical power, hardware capability" and the involvement of MercurySteam as a contributor (previously from Metroid: Samus Returns) have played a role in its revival.[2]

This game was Metroid Dread (prototype), but since then the Nintendo Switch has come out, direction/planning/conception has changed, with the concept being more fleshed out, and MercurySteam have contributed (previously they had no connection with Metroid Dread).
Officially Yoshio Sakamoto/Nintendo have treated it like the same game.[3]

However, we gave up on the idea at the time because we felt the technology back then just couldn't properly bring the concept to life. We did have a chance to try again after that, but we felt like we still couldn't create the game as originally imagined, so we ceased development again at that point."
