Hey gamers! There’s a new rumor going around about when we’ll finally get to play Metroid Prime 4 on the Nintendo Switch. It was first mentioned in 2017, but in 2019, Nintendo said they were starting over with the game. Retro Studios is now in charge of making it, and Nintendo hasn’t shared any news about it since. But there’s a hint that we might hear about it again soon.
Metroid Prime 4 Release Date
According to a recent blog from a trusted insider named Zippo says that Nintendo is getting ready to release a game called Metroid Prime 4 on the Nintendo Switch in the summer of 2024. Zippo has been right about Nintendo news before.
They say that the game is almost finished being developed by a company called Retro, and it will be one of the last big games for the Switch before Nintendo’s new game console comes out. Also, when Nintendo shows the game to fans next time, they will also tell us when we can buy it.
Zippo said in their blog, “For years, there were four mysterious titles for Switch that we had to wait ages to get updates on. The first was Bayonetta 3, the second was Tears of The Kingdom, the third was Pikmin 4, and fourth, lastly, was Metroid Prime 4. We all know the story of what happened there, but now it appears as the light is at the end of the tunnel. The game has had a long development cycle of about five years now, and things are finally starting to wrap up. Which is why I’ve finally gotten word that the game will release in the summer of next year, which will make it the last “major” title for The Switch ahead of the release of Nintendo’s next console in the second half of next year. Additionally, I’ve heard that internally, Nintendo has been very cautious about showing the game off until it was in a near complete state. They employed this same strategy with Pikmin 4 last year, and I think it worked out pretty well there. When Nintendo finally shows the game off, it will come with a date.”

Metroid Prime 4 Trailer
Yes, we did get a trailer, but it didn’t show us anything. It didn’t even tell us who made the game a long time ago. It was just meant to get us excited, but we can still remember how excited we were when we saw the title and knew that we were going to play as Samus Aran again. Sometimes, good things happen when you’re patient, as the saying goes.
