Metroid Prime 4 Reportedly Launching In 2024
A reliable gaming insider has claimed that Metroid Prime 4 could still be aiming to launch in 2024, with the source having previously leaked Epic Mickey: Rebrushed before its announcement today.
Although today's Nintendo Direct wasn't focused on its own first-party games and instead showcased titles coming from third-party studios, it was still a pretty big event that highlighted how many games the Switch still has before the Switch 2 reportedly releases in 2025. One game's reveal might even provide some evidence that a much-anticipated Switch exclusive is still on the way.
One of the biggest surprises to come from today's Direct was Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, a "faithful" remake of the 2010 Wii classic that fans have been asking about for a really long time. Even though it's been requested a ton over the years, it still came as a big surprise for most of us to see it announced at the Direct.
Although the reveal shocked a lot of people, one person who was significantly less surprised was gaming insider Jeff Grubb, who revealed today following the Direct that a source of his told him about the remake ahead of time. Interestingly, Grubb also revealed during the Giant Bomb's watch-along of the Partner Showcase that the same source told him that Metroid Prime 4 is planned for launch in 2024.
After Epic Mickey: Rebrushed was revealed, Grubb stated that its announcement gave him more confidence that Prime 4 will release by the end of the year, since the same source who told him that also informed him of Epic Mickey: Rebrushed's existence. Of course, rumours should always be taken with a pinch of salt, but it's worth keeping in mind if you thought Prime 4 wouldn't be released on the Nintendo Switch.
