While we haven’t seen Metroid Prime 4 yet, Nintendo did reveal an all new game in the main Metroid franchise during their Direct Presentation.
I know everyone wants some sort of Metroid Prime 4 update, but there’s no denying that the NEW Metroid game they announced, Metroid Dread, looks incredible:
Suit up as Samus Aran in the first new entry of the 2D #Metroid saga in more than 19 years, #MetroidDread, launching 10/8.
Continue Samus’ story after Metroid Fusion, exploring a strange new planet alone and hunted by the ominous E.M.M.I.

I love seeing it go back to the 2D style and getting to see some classic Samus action. It reminds me of that Metroid: Samus Returns remake for the 3DS which was all sorts of amazing. This should definitely help fill the gap while we wait for Prime 4.
Even better, this one has a RELEASE DATE! Metroid Dread is slated to hit Nintendo Switch on October 8, 2021.
