Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, a game eagerly awaited by players for many years, has had some surprising developments. First announced in 2017, the game has been in the spotlight for its lengthy development process. Recently, Amazon canceled pre-orders that had been open for years. Does this mean the game has been canceled?

Amazon’s Cancellation Causes Confusion

Amazon’s cancellation of long-awaited Metroid Prime 4 pre-orders has caused concern among fans. However, the available information suggests that this cancellation might have been a mistake. There’s no indication that the game has been canceled or delayed again. Nintendo had reiterated just a few months ago that they plan to release the game in 2025.

In 2019, Nintendo had completely halted the game’s previous development process and handed the project over to Retro Studios, the team behind the Metroid Prime trilogy. Retro Studios was tasked with redesigning the game from scratch. During this time, Switch players found consolation in games like Metroid Dread and the remastered Metroid Prime.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is gearing up to offer fans of the series a new adventure, while also refreshing memories of past stories. As the game is set to release in 2025, the events from Samus Aran’s previous adventures and the Metroid Prime trilogy will be revisited in players’ minds.

Nintendo has not yet confirmed a specific release date, but it is certain that Metroid Prime 4 has not been canceled, and development is still ongoing. It looks like fans will need to be patient for a while longer.
