Metroid Prime 4 has just received its official rating in South Korea, hinting that Nintendo may be gearing up to announce a release date very soon. According to the VGC article "With release news expected soon, Metroid Prime 4 has been rated", the game's rating slipped through the Korean rating board, suggesting that certification is complete and Nintendo's next steps are on the horizon. Fans have poured over every detail of the Nintendo Switch announcement trailer to speculate on what the final product will look like—and whether the long development cycle will pay off.
Why fans are excited: The rating not only confirms that Metroid Prime 4 is still alive in development but also raises expectations that Nintendo will drop a release date announcement during one of their upcoming Nintendo Direct streams. When that happens, you'll be able to pre-order the title for download via the eShop, seamlessly update your system, and dive into Samus's next chapter.
