A recent update indicates that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, due later this year for Nintendo Switch, might encounter development hurdles, potentially causing delays beyond the anticipated 2025 release, possibly moving it to 2026. This could be disappointing news for those eagerly waiting for the Nintendo Switch 2 game, following the launches of Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza.
The news about Metroid Prime 4: Beyond’s development comes from Kiwi Talkz, who occasionally delves into insider reporting on YouTube. According to our source, the game appears to have missed some key milestones in its development process, which might suggest that things haven’t gone exactly as planned. However, this doesn’t necessarily imply that the game is struggling or experiencing development problems. It could be that the timeline was miscalculated when setting up the milestones, and adjustments were made after the first one was missed. This potential hiccup might signal more significant development challenges, but it’s important to note that we don’t have definitive proof of this, as the report doesn’t explicitly state so.
The release year of 2025 might not be set in stone, and it’s possible that Kiwi Talkz wouldn’t find it surprising if the game’s launch got delayed until 2026.
In a recent post on social media platform X, Kiwi Talkz explained that certain development stages haven’t been reached on time, which means a release date hasn’t been set as of now.
