Metroid Prime 4 Is Still Actively in Development

Nintendo's Retro Studios is Hard at Work on the Switch-Exclusive Title

Details Remain Scarce, But Fans Are Eager to See the Series Return

Nintendo has been tight-lipped about Metroid Prime 4 since rebooting development with Retro Studios in 2019. However, recent comments from gaming industry insider Jeff Grubb suggest that assets for the game may be ready by May 2024.

Grubb's comments come from a recent episode of his "Game Mess Mornings" podcast, where he discussed the latest rumors and speculation surrounding Metroid Prime 4. According to Grubb, he has heard from multiple sources that Retro Studios is making "excellent progress" on the game, and that the game's assets may be ready by the middle of next year.

If Grubb's information is accurate, it means that Metroid Prime 4 could be released sometime in 2025. This is still a long way off, but it is the most concrete information we have received about the game's release date to date.

Metroid Prime 4 is one of the most highly anticipated games in Nintendo's history. The original Metroid Prime was released for the GameCube in 2002 and was critically acclaimed for its innovative gameplay and stunning graphics. The game's two sequels, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, were also well-received by critics and fans alike.

Fans of the series have been eagerly awaiting the release of Metroid Prime 4 for many years, and the recent news that the game is still in active development is sure to be met with excitement. However, Nintendo has yet to provide any official details about the game, so we will have to wait for more information in the coming months.
