Metroid Prime 4 was announced for the Nintendo Switch in June 2017 and fans of the franchise have been waiting for more news on the project ever since. Initially confirmed to be developed by Bandai Namco in partnership with Nintendo, the first-person adventure game was then revealed to have been rebooted with Nintendo's own Retro Studios handling the sequel. Retro, while largely running silent since, has now offered up a hint regarding the every-mysterious status of its new Metroid Prime game.
