    Metroid Prime 4: Beyond was first announced back in 2017 but Nintendo scrapped the project and started over in 2019 because that first attempt didn’t reach “the standard” of previous entries in the action-adventure series. A release trailer was finally unveiled last year, giving fans their first proper look at bounty hunter Samus Aran’s latest mission but Nintendo haven’t revealed many details about the game, even though it’s due to launch next month.

    Last week a handful of previews were shared and now Metroid Prime fans are starting to get worried about the new game. 

    “Everything was going great… until specialist Myles MacKenzie crashed the party,” wrote IGN, criticising the “extraordinarily talkative companion who’s constantly spewing unwanted hints, quippy jokes and cries for help [which] break the isolated, atmospheric themes Metroid is known for.”
