One game that has kept fans waiting for a full generation is Metroid Prime 4. The announcement was made by Nintendo back in 2017 during the E3 event, and now marks the seventh anniversary of this eagerly anticipated reveal.
It has also been five years since Metroid Prime 4 underwent a reboot, with Retro Studios taking over the project under the supervision of producer Kensuke Tanabe.
While there was a period when the game was “in development for Nintendo Switch,” we are now nearing the end of that particular console generation. There is speculation that the game may end up being released alongside Nintendo’s next-generation hardware.
Nintendo recently mentioned that they will unveil a “successor” to the Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. The launch titles for this new hardware are yet to be confirmed, so there’s a possibility that samus’ next adventure will finally be showcased.
As per Nintendo’s official schedule, the release date for Metroid Prime 4 remains ‘To Be Announced’. Nintendo is also slated to host a Direct presentation this month, focusing on their Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024; however, there will be no mention of the Switch successor.
