If there is a game that competes with Hollow Knight: Silksong When it comes to having a ridiculously long gap between the announcement and the release it is probably Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. This Nintendo exclusive title was actually revealed two years before Silk songBut today it still has not met store shelves. When Metroid Prime 4 Was first shown at Nintendo's press conference E3 2017, the game was quite literally nothing but a logo at that time. Nintendo said the title would be developed by some of Bandai Namco's studios in Japan and Singapore, but in the end it did not end that way.

In 2019 Nintendo revealed that it had restarted Metroid Prime 4 'S Development, after the first version of the game made by Bandai Namco failed to meet its internal expectations. The company said it decided to hand over the game to Retro Studios, the original developers of Metroidprime franchise. Then Retro Studios worked on a brand new platform player for Nintendo Switch called HarmonyBut this unrelated project was canceled to prioritize Metroid Prime 4S development.

Retro Studios has not released a new game since the 2014 Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, It is the only other edition since then Metroid Prime remastered 2023.
