It could be so beautiful: With Metroid Dread, a week ago not only the first new 2D part of the series has appeared since 19 years, the switch game is still really good. With us in the test, it has been properly truncated and the value average on Metacrit is at 89. But now a shadow has been placed on the title developed by the Spanish Studio Mercurysteam. Former employees who worked on Metroid Dread report that their names are not found in the credits.

Red.: The responsible persons with Mercurystream have decided that it should be like that while I continue to see a lot of animations in every gameplay that I did have.

The Spanish-speaking website Vandal reported on the topic and from a third person who wants to stay anonymous that their name is not found in the Credits of Metroid Dread, even though they worked on the title eleven months (thanks, Kotaku). In addition, Mejías announced the colleagues that MercurySteam employee financially punishes, which submit their termination less than 42 days before their last working day. A spokesman of the studio had relocated to Vandal that it was normal not to mention employees in the credits of a game if they have not worked on a project at least a quarter of the production time.
