Refunds are promised within one to two business days. While disappointing for those who pre-ordered, particularly long-time fans since the game's 2017 E3 announcement, the cancellation doesn't signal game cancellation; it simply reflects current Amazon stock limitations.

A Look Back at Metroid Prime 4's Development:

Metroid Prime 4 Development History

Initially announced at E3 2017 without Retro Studios, the developers of previous Metroid Prime titles, development was later restarted under Retro Studios in 2019 due to the initial progress not meeting Nintendo's standards.

A gameplay trailer showcasing the antagonist, Sylux, and confirming the title Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, was unveiled in June 2024, setting a 2025 release date. Nintendo reaffirmed this release window on January 3, 2025.

The recent Amazon pre-order cancellations, while unsettling, don't contradict Nintendo's commitment to a 2025 release. The upcoming Switch 2 announcement adds another layer of speculation regarding which console will launch the game.
