This question is made even murkier because, of the Metroid Prime games released so far, several have multiplayer, while others do not. Without confirmation of other features, it's completely unclear if Metroid Prime 4 will feature multiplayer. Will this be the final logo? Will there be a subtitle for the game? All that has yet to be confirmed. If this tease showing the logo counts as a trailer, then this is the first official trailer for Metroid Prime 4. Trailersīy clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's At this time, it's exclusive to the platform, though that certainly could change if it ends up releasing as Nintendo readies whatever next-gen system it likely has planned. Yes! Something we know for certain! Metroid Prime 4 is releasing on Nintendo Switch. At the end of Metroid 3: Corruption, Dark Samus and Phazon were both defeated, leaving Samus ready to move on to the next big challenge the universe decides to throw her way. While these developments bode well for the game's final quality, it doesn't give us any indication of when it will be ready to be shown again.Īs for what Metroid Prime 4 will be about, once again we don't have a whole lot to go off of. Producer Kensuke Tanabe, who also served in this role on the first three games and Metroid Prime: Hunters, is back, as well. It announced early in 2019 that development was restarting, this time via Retro Studios, the American studio behind the first three Metroid Prime games. In the grand scheme of things, the real answer is "almost nothing," but there are a few things we've come to understand about Metroid Prime 4's development.Īccording to reports, Metroid Prime 4's development initially began under Bandai Namco rather than an internal Nintendo studio, but Nintendo was unhappy with the game's quality at the time. Nintendo's earnings reports continue to only list Metroid Prime 4's release as TBA. During this second update, Nintendo's Shinya Takahashi said it would be missing its internal release target for the game, but since we don't know what that is, it's unclear when we can expect Metroid Prime 4. Nintendo has not revealed a release date for Metroid Prime 4, simply stating that the game was "in development" during E3 2017 before later offering an apology for the wait back in 2019. While it might not be much, here's everything we know about Metroid Prime 4 and ahead of this year's "Not-E3" and Summer Game Fest. The long-awaited sequel has gone through a bit of a tumultuous development period, even restarting development back in 2019.

However, for all the hype surrounding the game, there's just as much mystery. With all this buildup, it feels safe to say the upcoming sci-fi adventure game is one of the most-anticipated titles coming to the Nintendo Switch. Stay tuned.It's been nearly 15 years since Metroid Prime 3: Corruption hit the Nintendo Wii back in 2007, and another five since its follow-up, Metroid Prime 4, was first announced. Perhaps this leak will push an official release date announcement for Metroid Prime 4 soon. Hopefully, we’ll get confirmation soon as there are rumblings for a Nintendo Direct this month (check out our video below for more on that!). Don’t be surprised if E3 2019 gives us a tasty helping of gameplay to sink our teeth into. This would certainly place Metroid Prime 4 as the big Switch title to get for Christmas, but also give plenty of time for media, content creators, and fans to check out the game during upcoming events. Although it does make sense to have such a big release come out late in the year. Without confirmation from Nintendo, this is clearly one for the rumor pile. According to a listing on Czech retailer SuperGamer, we can expect Metroid Prime 4 on November 29th, 2019. Well, it seems that the holidays are *ahem* “prime” for some first person arm cannon action. If you want to count Metroid Prime Trilogy, that came out for Wii in 2009. After all, the last game came out in 2007. Fans of the sexy and badass bounty hunter Samus Aran have especially been hungry for this release. As one of the bigger titles Switch fans are anticipating this year, it’s natural that we’re all hungry to learn when we can get our hands on Metroid Prime 4.
