It's clear Nintendo has bought itself some time with that announcement, but we still eagerly await the day when we'll hear more about Metroid Prime 4.
#Forspoken e3 series
While it didn't have anything new to show, we did get details about an all-new 2D entry in the series called Metroid Dread. In the Nintendo Direct that took place during E3 2021, Nintendo's Shinya Takahashi said the company is still hard at work on Metroid Prime 4. We've also heard small news of famous developer talent joining and re-joining Retro Studios throughout the years, which bodes well for the upcoming game. In 2019, Nintendo announced that while the game is still in active development, it had to restart the process entirely, proceeding now in collaboration with Retro Studios-the studio behind the original Metroid Prime Trilogy. That's not to say we haven't received any development updates around the project. It's wild to think that nothing has been shown from the game in nearly four years, and even wilder to realize that 2017 is also the year the Switch was initially released. This game was announced at E3 2017, but we've seen little else aside from its logo ever since. If there's one game we haven't heard from in the longest of times, it's Nintendo's Metroid Prime 4. Otherwise, read on for all the games missing from the show. You can also read our E3 2021 recap, or check out our roundup of the best trailers.

The industry event gave us some exciting new glimpses at the biggest upcoming games, but not everything we know about got a chance in the spotlight.
