If you’re interested in learning more about Phantom Breaker: Omnia, read the following overview:

While Metroid had a strong return late last year in the form of Metroid Dread, the series has been quiet when it comes to Metroid Prime 4. Nintendo did reveal the game’s existence way back in 2017, but a couple of years later, announced that the project’s development had been rebooted entirely with Retro Studios taking the helm.

There’s still not much in the way of news regarding Metroid Prime, but there’s been at least a slightly interesting discovery today. Over on Retro Studios’ Twitter page, some art has appeared as it’s showing up on the company’s banner – check it out below. It’s not any sort of indication that something is happening in the near future, but perhaps it can be interpreted as a positive sign. At the very least, Retro is still tinkering away on Metroid Prime 4 in the background.
