Nintendo of Europe has never sent YonicStudios a notice of intellectual property infringement, as the project was 'almost safe' from a cease-and-desist action thanks to a loophole in the Spanish laws. It was developed from the beginning with no intentions of being distributed, but it has been showcased at Madrid Games Week 2019 under the stand of the university of ESNE by the name of Tallon Tour, where a 3 minute demo could be played.

What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.Prime VR (formerly known as Metroid Prime VR) is a recreation of parts of Metroid Prime for virtual reality platforms developed by Spanish developer YonicStudios from 2018 to 2019, serving as a culminating demonstration of a student research project about adapting first-person shooter games for VR. Doctre81, the person who combed through LinkedIn listings, claims that these are evidence Metroid Prime 4 is still being worked on by the Singapore studio and that the game runs on Unreal Engine. It’s also mentioned that a person with experience using Unreal Engine “is a plus”.

Interestingly, responsibilities for the person applying for this role include creating “animation rigs for different character types including humans, animals, creatures, and mechs”, as well as ” Facial rigging for humanoids and creatures.” Today, Bandai Namco Studios Singapore has put out a recruitment ad for an experienced Senior Rigger/Senior Technical Animator.

It was then rumored Bandai Namco Studios Singapore handed over Metroid Prime 4 to the Bandai Namco development team in Tokyo as they had to work on another project. Earlier this year, we heard from various voices in the industry about how Bandai Namco Studios Singapore is working on Metroid Prime 4, discovered through listings found on LinkedIn.
