Hopefully Nintendo releases a Metroid Prime 4 gameplay trailer or something along those lines this year. I can't handle another 2-3 years with NOTHING.
@SnackPop I genuinely think that this is the year where we finally get some MP4 news. It has been over 3 years since it was announced that it was restarted, and I think 3 years is enough time to at LEAST get a cinematic trailer or a title drop.
I'm not necessarily expecting gameplay, but I'm sure we're gonna see something this time around.
@Ninfan I think the problem was that MP4 was being made by a different studio entirely, Bandai Namco, whereas both MercurySteam and Retro Studios both had some Metroid experience under their belt. As far as I know, Namco has never helped in making a Metroid game before.
@Ninfan@SnackPop@StarPoint I think we get the Metroid Prime remaster announcement this year with a release this year but we won't hear anything about MP4 until E3 next year, I think it releases around October 2023...
Normally I'd be certain we would see it before the year is over, but considering the 15 year wait for Metroid Dread lead to it being properly announced like 4 months before release, who even knows
We have been informed that the release date of Metroid Prime 4 (Nintendo Switch) (Catalog Number: METP4NS), which you have on order with us, has been changed to 31 December 2023.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
This survey from Nintendo UK has been making the rounds.

I’m pretty sure Nintendo knows what we know.
And that is we want Prime 4! Glad to see that despite it being in development hell, they’re still moving forward with it.
If Metroid Dread can resurface after previously being a cancelled DS game after 18 years, then I’m pretty sure Metroid Prime 4 is still getting worked on.

I am not too concerned about the longer wait for Metroid Prime 4 since I am just now currently playing through Metroid Prime Remastered for my first time and have never touched 2 or 3. Haven't played Metroid Dread yet either. I have plenty of new Metroid content to keep me busy for a long time until Metroid Prime 4 comes out.
My suspicion (to be clear, pure speculation pulled directly from my butt) is that Metroid Prime Remastered is a first step toward building hype for the new game. Sometime in the summer they will shadow drop remasters of MP2 and 3, along side an announcement trailer of MP4, which will be their big holiday release this year.
Not saying it will happen, but that's what I would do if I were making the calls.

After playing Prime 1 Remastered I am looking forward to 4...
Let this be Nintendo's Halo Infinite I say!
Funny enough, older meta critic reviews from 2002 when the original Metroid Prime came out show one dude giving the game a 0 cause he said it was “a halo rip off and halo is better” or something like that, while another dude gave the game a 10 because “giving this a 10 to counteract the halo fanboy who gave it a 0.” It’s hilarious, and historic.
Wait, why do we need a Sigurd? I mean signature, jeez.
