It's still in development (despite radio silence)Ī January 2022 job posting from developer Retro Studios reminded us that the game is indeed still in development. And, of course, others treated the reveal a little more lightly, jokingly pointing (opens in new tab) out it’s been five years since the game’s initial reveal, and all we've got to see is a single piece of concept art. Others have been a little more conservative in their speculation, with one Reddit user noting (opens in new tab) that Samus’s bulky armor design doesn’t appear to have significantly changed from the previous Metroid Prime Games. Maybe they will go back to the creepy nature of the original Metroid.” Phazon played a big part in the second game, creating its chief antagonist Dark Samus, and appeared back in the third to create a new breed of mutated Metroids.Ī poster on ResetEra (opens in new tab) suggested the image looked like an abandoned duct, and might hint at the “that the game will be more dark and desolate than previous titles. Some users pointed out (opens in new tab) the image’s blue tinge is similar in color to the Phazon energy (opens in new tab) that cropped up throughout the original Metroid Prime trilogy before being destroyed in its climax.
fans made the most of opportunity with some speculation (opens in new tab). Social media banners wouldn't usually stir much excitement, but this is the long-quiet Metroid Prime 4. It’s like that, like other Switch games, there will be optional motion controls with the Joy-Cons - we’re imagining aiming, firing, and environment scanning, for example. Given The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario franchises have embraced more open worlds, we wonder if this is something that Nintendo will bring into the Prime series, too. Coming in as a fresh start, there’s actually plenty of room for Metroid Prime 4 to innovate. Other than that we can’t say what kind of gameplay changes will arise from either the new developer or the new Switch platform.
One thing we can be fairly confident in is that, like other Prime games, Metroid Prime 4 is likely to be a first-person shooter.

Though Samus went into hyperspace, giving the opportunity for a sequel to enter a new world or galaxy, we’d say the core story of the original trilogy is now closed.īack in 2015, Eurogamer (opens in new tab) interviewed series producer, Kensuke Tanabe, who stated that “the stories of Dark Samus and Phazon are done” adding that any new games in the series would focus on other Prime-series elements. What we will say is that Metroid Prime 3’s ending didn’t strike us as open enough for any kind of direct continuation. There’s so little Metroid Prime 4 information out there that piecing together the story is nigh impossible.
