The current project under the codename "Synergy" has a aimed release for late 2023 early 2024, though another delay may occur(Shocker).
The game is set to release on a new Switch model that's planned for March 2023 with a full reveal in Oct or Nov.
The game has two gameplay styles (Immersive Mode) and (Classic), (Immersive Mode) allows the Player to use the detached Joy Cons and motion controls to control Samus, (Classic) is aimed for a more sit down and play style like most games.
(Immersive Mode) Uses the Left JC for general movement, Visor modes and clambering, Right JC controls weapons and aim(Moving the JC moves the arm cannon, analog is disabled in this mode to prevent interference). The buttons(ABXY) are meant to be pressed by Left hand while holding the Left JC to simulate interacting with the arm cannon.
The game will be set after Prime 3 and before Fusion. Plot revolves around Samus having her Power Suit stolen by the game's villain and left only with her Zero suit. The Federation refusing to allow their top mercenary being on the sidelines, give her a experimental power armor based on her Power Suit. Gameplay will be different as it's more like piloting a Samus mech rather than controlling Samus.
The game is meant to start off a new trilogy but only featuring Samus in the first game and the other two focusing on new Federation characters introduced in P4.
The game's villain is Sylux, an ex-Federation Trooper used in an project by the Federation to recreate Samus's power armor. Something went wrong and turned Sylux's body into pure energy and now can only exist inside his armor. He found a Chozo artifact that allows him to steal powers from his enemies including Samus's Power Suit which he hopes he can use to restore his own body.

I know this is fake but I still hate you for coming up with one of shittiest metroid plots I've heard yet.
Connor Russell
All of this sounds exactly like the kind of absolute insulting bullshit Nintendo would pull with that trademark shit eating cutesy style
"uuuu rook a misteru cusutoma, uwee havu ruin uuuu franuchaiso u ruv foar miyamoto-san uounce umoauru" It's zelda all over again, I'm back in 2006 seeing the freight train approaching but a franchise I love stuck on the track
Fuck Nintendo so hard man
Jonathan Morris
What keeps going wrong that you need to restart development?
Brayden Gutierrez
OP here. Management and "creative differences" between the crew and Nintendo.
Ethan James
Again? Nintendo needs to fuck off and let them do what they want. They have made 3 successful games already.

POST ANY PROOF YOU WORK FOR RETRO OR NINTENDO YOU FUCKWIT FAKE AND GAY 0/10

OP here, we just want Samus to be a transexual non-white hero and Nintendo keeps shutting us down. Don't they understand Samus is a LGBTQIAA+ icon?
all of this sounded terrible, i never understood why prime had to be a "trilogy" 2 was a great stand alone game of spook after primes phenomenal style of *read it if you want" story structure, then prime 3 had this military stuff with mission objectives and npc conversations which didn't start feeling like the previous primes until closer to the middle. now i get you can only use samus and >visit haunted planet >it goes BOO and have it be interesting once or twice a decade but im serious, having prime 3 try to do some avengers shit being a "come together" video game because of halo and phazon was not why people were anticipating prime 3
if you got to do something with sylux, just do something dumber like have him disappear into a recently/ self destructed planet while escaping your bounty on him and try to figure out if everyone died because of him or something bigger, and measure your options with that
if there is a 0.01 cxknwphance you know even the most outer individual in prime 4's development, tell them to stop trying to plan a trilogy before you know your 8 year developed game will be federation 4ce 2 3 and 4, you'd think tanabe would of tried to stop that train of thought considering how fucking deep the bags in his eyes looked trying to make force fed look appealing because of how boring it was youtube.com/watch?v=paCY1eQNAjs

>only featuring Samus in the first game and the other two focusing on new Federation characters introduced in P4 Imagine giving the series an insane Samus related revelation in Dread only to prepare to drop her like a brick.
Asher Allen
Dread is in the Sakamoto universe, Prime is in the Tanabe universe Two different stories, two different worlds.

>thinking nintendo >king tard wrangler >is the issue >after fixing up monolith, plat, and more this thread is gay and retarded. But congratz on besting op.

That all sounds awful, so part me thinks at least one or two of these things may happen. All I can hope for is Prime 4 isn't as bad as Prime 3 at this point.
I wish they were separate so the prime games wouldn't have to deal with sakamoto's retardation
Ryan Green
This sounds too retarded to be true, if it is, well there goes the Prime series but this will take place before Samus Returns so I know it's fake.
Anthony Jones
I wish, I consider the Prime series like Halo's expanded universe and non-FPS spin-off games, just canon "events" that can be ignored and treated as non-canon.
