While it might not be much, here's everything we know about Metroid Prime 4 and ahead of this year's "Not-E3" and Summer Game Fest. The long-awaited sequel has gone through a bit of a tumultuous development period, even restarting development back in 2019. However, for all the hype surrounding the game, there's just as much mystery. With all this buildup, it feels safe to say the upcoming sci-fi adventure game is one of the most-anticipated titles coming to the Nintendo Switch. Retro Studios is currently working on Metroid Prime 4.It's been nearly 15 years since Metroid Prime 3: Corruption hit the Nintendo Wii back in 2007, and another five since its follow-up, Metroid Prime 4, was first announced. Work on Heroes of Hyrule halted after the land was denied by Nintendo and an early version of the game was never developed. According to Retro Studios programmer Paul Tozour, Nintendo was keen for the studio to create an acclaimed FPS to show off the capabilities of the Nintendo Wii. But Nintendo passed on the project, asking Retro to go straight to Metroid Prime 3. He launched the game after the release of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, which was released for the Game Boy Advance to critical and commercial success the previous year. Retro worked on Heroes of Hyrule in 2004 while finishing development on Metroid Prime 2. The villain returns in the final scene, only for the story’s three heroes to burst from the pages of the book and have the player defeat him in a final battle. The two time periods would eventually intersect, as it is revealed that the book is actually a vessel that was used to trap Ganon. These segments would have been filled with mini-games rather than combat.Įach page of the book would tell a part of Link’s quest to stop Ganon and transport you back in time to play through the story yourself. Following the traditional Zelda-style RPG formula, you’d explore an open world, talk to NPCs, and complete quests to gradually collect pages from a mysterious old book. As you progress through the quest, you gradually acquire new items with which to solve puzzles and reveal new previously locked areas, similar to how Samus acquires new items to unlock areas in Metroid.īetween adventures with Link and his pals, players would also take on the role of Kori, a boy living in present-day Hyrule. Puzzle solving would also have received a lot of attention. Although there is no XP or leveling system, you would amass armor, weapons, and heart coins to improve your character’s stats. Aping the strategic RPG gameplay of Final Fantasy Tactics, the four heroes would have claimed distinct weapons, combat abilities, and playstyles. Much of Hyrule’s Heroes is said to have taken place 100 years ago and followed Link as he teamed up with three original characters – Dunar the Goron, Seriph the Rito, and Krel the Zora – to stop Ganon. Players would have fought groups of enemies in low-key tactical combat encounters, in between puzzle solving in an open world. Heroes of Hyrule would have blended the turn-based combat of Final Fantasy Tactics with the traditional adventure gameplay of the Zelda series.
