Metroid Prime 4’s Troubled Development Lead Some to Believe that the Game May Not Release on the Switch
Ever since its announcement at E3 2017, Nintendo hasn’t been the most vocal aboutMetroid Prime 4.It was reported byEurogamerthat the game was originally being developed by Bandai Namco Studios Singapore. But Nintendo ended up restarting the development of the game, as the company did not think that the project reached the standards it was seeking in a new entry in theMetroid Primeseries.
In 2019, development was officially restarted with the help of the original development studio that made theMetroid Primegames. Ever since then, there has not been any official news or announcements regarding the game, leading some to believe that either the game was in development hell or had just been shifted to Nintendo’s next console. What was shocking was thatMetroid Prime 4was also not mentioned during the Nintendo Direct Show in June.
It’s possible that Nintendo plans to announce the game near the end of the year and release it in 2024 for the Nintendo Switch as well as the new console. Nevertheless, this is exciting news.It’s only a matter of time before we get some form of announcement regarding the game.
