Eighth generations of consoles with all of its good and bad memories will leave us soon, and with the all progressions that we saw during these years, maybe one annoying habit among developers and publishers remained unchanged and as you can guess, it’s about the announcement of the games too early and making fans to wait for years until they get what should’ve been delivered earlier. You may accuse Sony for such an annoying policy and I will definitely agree with you, but on the other side, Nintendo is the other publisher that has followed the same way in some of it’s great exclusive titles, including Metroid Prime 4.
At E3 2017, Switch owners were promised to get Metroid Prime 4 as one of the most anticipated sequels among Nintendo’s beloved franchises. However, after 2 years with no new information and trailer for the game, while all the fans expected to see the first footage of Metroid Prime 4 at this year’s E3, Nintendo streamed a Direct show to announce that the company has decided to restart the development of the game and this time hands this over to Retro Studios, which is the main team that created Metroid Prime series. Although the news was so disappointing for the community, at least it might avoid from a big flop in Nintendo’s software section, especially exclusive titles.
Now, its clear for everybody that Metroid Prime 4 is still far away from us, but the good news is Retro Studios has ignited the engine to develop the game and right now they hiring talented people to join them in doing the mission. According to studio’s Twitter account, Retro is looking for some developers in different positions to join the studio and be a part of the team behind Metroid Prime 4.
