In an interview with Eurogamer, long-time Metroid series director Yoshio Sakamoto spoke about Metroid: Samus Returns, and was asked about what sort of Metroid game he’d like to do next. While he didn’t say anything conclusive, he did give a few hints. Now that he’s created a remake, he’d like to take on a new game.

Do you have any idea where the series’ story might go in the future, what might happen?

Yoshio Sakamoto: It’s a tricky question to answer about the future. [Regardless], the Metroid series is not over [laughs]

What would you like to make next? Another remake or a fresh title?

Yoshio Sakamoto: We’ve just made a full-fledged remake so I’d rather take on something new. That’s my general approach, and this was a new challenge.
