Since then, we've heard nothing concrete about Metroid Prime 4 outside of occasional hirings at Retro. However, we will continue developing the game so that when it is completed, it will stand shoulder to shoulder with the past Metroid Prime titles."
#E3 METROID PRIME 4 UPDATE#
It will be a long road until the next time we will be able to update you on the development progress, and development time will be extensive. I'd like to extend my deepest, heartfelt apologies to everyone that the launch will be delayed. We strongly recognize that this delay will come as a disappointment to the many fans who have been looking forward to the launch of Metroid Prime 4. This change will essentially mean restarting development from the beginning, so the completion of the game will be delayed from our initial internal plan.
By collaborating and developing with Retro Studios, we believe we can make this game something that will meet our fans' expectations. Specifically, we have decided to have the producer, Kensuke Tanabe, work in trust and collaboration with the studio that developed the original Metroid Prime series, Retro Studios in the United States, and restart development from the beginning. We have decided to re-examine the development structure itself and change it. "From this perspective, we have determined that the current development status of is very challenged, and we had to make a difficult decision as a development team. If we're not satisfied with the quality, we aren't able to deliver it to our customers with confidence, and the game will not live up to our fans' expectations. Nintendo always strives for the highest quality in our games and in our development phase, we challenge ourselves and confront whether the game is living up to that quality on a daily basis. "Although this is very regrettable, we must let you know that the current development progress has not reached the standards we seek in a sequel to the Metroid Prime series. Nintendo's Shinya Takahashi delivered this message about the decision: While Nintendo never outright revealed which studio was working on the game, reports indicated that it was a Bandai Namco team.įollowing the reveal, Nintendo remained silent about Metroid Prime 4 until January 2019, when it announced that the project hadn't been living up to its standards and that it was completely restarting its development, this time with Retro Studios at the helm. At the time, all the company revealed was that the game was in development and that a brand-new team was helming the project rather than Retro Studios. Nintendo first announced Metroid Prime 4 during its E3 2017 Nintendo Direct.
With E3 2021 just around the corner now, however, there's a chance we could finally see more of Metroid Prime 4 during the show-and if we do, here's what we hope we'll learn about it. This significant hurdle explains why fans have had to wait so long for any news about the title, but it doesn't help ease how excruciating that wait has been. It's been four years since it was first announced, and we still know very little about Metroid Prime 4, except that Nintendo completely restarted the game's development back in January 2019.
