Mercury Steam Entertainment S.L., doing business as MercurySteam, is a Spanish video game developer based in San Sebastián de los Reyes, Madrid. It was founded by former members of Rebel Act Studios, who had developed Severance: Blade of Darkness in 2001. Dave Cox, a producer at Konami, assisted MercurySteam during the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow trilogy.[2]
After MercurySteam pitched a remake of the 2002 game Metroid Fusion to Nintendo, the producer, Yoshio Sakamoto, hired them to create a remake of Metroid II instead.[3] MercurySteam collaborated with Nintendo again to develop a new game, Metroid Dread, for the Nintendo Switch.[4] In December 2020, Nordisk Film, under their Nordisk Games division, purchased a 40% stake in the studio.[5]
