Nintendo fans have been waiting for Metroid Prime 4 for nearly a decade, and this big moment may arrive earlier than anyone expected.

The pictures originally shared by Reddit users show that a Nintendo fan in London found an advertisement for Metropolitan Prime 4: Beyond at the subway station, which clearly stated "It's available now."Although Nintendo confirmed that the game will be released within the year in February this year, the specific date has not been announced so far, and the Nintendo Digital Store also clearly shows that the game has not been released yet.

This ad, which appeared at the Oxford Street subway station, has triggered crazy speculation among fans whether this highly anticipated work will be airborne and released earlier this year like the Elder Scrolls 4: Annihilation Remake.

For doubters who doubt this might be a superb PS work, the ad discoverer provided photos taken from multiple angles, confirming that this was indeed an official advertisement.

It is not clear whether this is an unexpected mistake or whether there is a plan.Some players speculate that the ad should have been marked "coming soon" or a release date slot, and will only be replaced with the words "now released" when the game is actually released.

It is worth noting that the Metroid series has had a precedent for sudden release.After Nintendo announced the existence of Metroid Prime Remake in 2023, it announced that the game will be released immediately on the same day.
