Considering that all development progress made up until the point that Retro Studios took over has seemingly been scrapped, it could be quite a while until we actually see this game.

While it might be a long time before we see Metroid Prime 4, here’s hoping that the game we get will be worth the wait. Established in 2003, we are makers of collectible figures and props from licenses such as the Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Super Mario, Okami, Full Metal Alchemist, Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, Sonic the Hedgehog and many others. The team is led by original Metroid Prime trilogy producer Kensuke Tanabe. Former DICE art director Jhony Ljungstedt ( Battlefield 5, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst) has joined former Halo lead character artist Kyle Helfey, and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze lead designer Stephen Dupree. The team that Retro has built around Metroid Prime 4 is pretty impressive, too. However, it was widely speculated that Bandai Namco had been given the task. What’s fascinating about this is that Nintendo never confirmed who was working on Metroid Prime 4 prior to this recent announcement.

Why would Nintendo just restart the development of one of its most anticipated new games? The company didn’t share all of the details, but it indicated during the video announcement that the game just wasn’t living up to the expectations it had set for this franchise.

This change will essentially mean restarting development from the beginning, so the completion of the game will be delayed from our initial internal plan…We strongly recognise that this delay will come as a disappointment to the many fans who have been looking forward to the launch of Metroid Prime 4.”

“The current development status is very challenged, and we had to make a difficult decision as a development team,” Nintendo’s Shinya Takahashi said in a stunning new video announcement. The new game will mark the first entry in the Prime series in a decade, as the original trilogy concluded with Metroid Prime 3: Corruption on the original Wii in 2007. Nintendo has rebooted Metroid Prime 4 and placed series developer Retro Studios in charge of the title’s ongoing development.
