We’ve known Metroid Prime 4 was in the works since it was announced at E3 in 2017. However, after it was a no-show at E3 2018, fans started to get a little bit antsy. Things only got worse when in 2019 Nintendo announced that a new studio had taken over and development had completely restarted. This was a tough pill to swallow for fans, as it guaranteed a massive delay, which has been certainly evident. There’s still no light at the end of the tunnel, either.
Someone in the replies made compared this to Half-Life 3, but that’s the toughest part. Half-Life 3 has never been confirmed to be in development, but Metroid Prime 4 has been promised to be coming for the last five years. We don’t even know what the future will hold for this future installment of the series that first started on the GameCube in 2002.
We called Metroid Prime 4 one of the five games that were announced way too early. It shared this honor with Elden Ring (already out), Bayonetta 3 (already out), Starfield (coming out sometime in 2023), and Elder Scrolls VI. Of the games on that list, only Elder Scrolls VI is something we don’t really know much about.
