It may be minor and inconsequently in the grand scheme of things, but Metroid fans have finally received something concerning Metroid Prime 4. Retro Studios, the developers that have worked on the Prime series, has changed its banner image on Twitter. The banner is a new image of Samus in her iconic suit, in a mysterious area with light shining above her.
The image doesn’t reveal much, yet it is still the most fans have been given in years. The image suggests that Retro Studios may be ready to reveal more concrete information about Metroid Prime 4 soon.
It should be noted that Retro Studios doesn’t have the most active Twitter account. The studio only sent out a few tweets a year, most of the tweets are job listings within the company. Retro did not send a single tweet in 2021, and it is most recent Tweet was on January 27.
