Announced in 2017, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Metroid Prime 4. To say otherwise would be an understatement. However, an unexpected incident recently made headlines: Amazon began canceling pre-orders for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.
What appeared to be a simple technical problem could well be hiding something more. While some customers reserved the game more than six years ago, with special offers at $48, the cancellations have sown doubt. According to GamespotAmazon has not yet provided a clear explanation for these massive cancellations. However, this situation only fuels speculation. The cancellation may well have been a mistake, but the vagueness surrounding the decision is fueling confusion among players.
It is important to remember that after restarting development in 2019, Metroid Prime 4 was revealed under a new name, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Despite this, fans never stopped hoping for Samus’ return, and Amazon had always kept reservations open, until this upheaval. So what is really going on?
The game remains one of the most anticipated titles for 2025. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond could well be one of Nintendo’s gems, planned to be released on both the current Switch and its future version. The mystery persists, but one thing is certain: the wait is still long, and players are hoping more than ever for clear confirmation.
