The Metroid franchise remains "an important franchise" for Nintendo, says Nintendo America resident Reggie Fils-Aime. Metroid Prime 4 was announced during E3 2017, but the reaction wasn't exclusively positive due to how little was revealed about the game.
All we know is that it's "now in development for Nintendo Switch," Retro Studios isn't working on it, no studio has been publicly attached to the game, and no release window was provided.
According to Fils-Aime, the company decided to announce the game early because of how important the franchise is for Nintendo and fans.
We wanted to make it clear that Metroid is an important franchise for us. As we think about how to satisfy the needs to the Metroid fans, we needed to make sure they understood there was a great console experience coming, in addition to Metroid: Samus Returns coming on Nintendo 3DS.- Fils-Aime
