Latest Rumors Hint at Nintendo Planning to Host a Direct Way Sooner for a Major Announcement This January

Last year was full of new games and a big reveal for Nintendo. However, the new year is still a big mystery and we only know about one major release, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of Kingdom. The Japanese giants have stayed quiet about their plans for 2023.

There are a lot of speculations about their plans for this year. Many believe they would not release any other significant title aside from Zelda because Nintendo might be releasing the successor to the aging Switch console. But there is news about some other plans for the Japanese company.

Many recent reports are suggesting that Nintendo wants to start the season with a Direct. This Nintendo Direct would happen in the upcoming days this month. But the main question is what will the video game company reveal at this event if it happens?

Rumored Nintendo Direct might reveal Metroid Prime 4

Nintendo has been silent about the Metroid Prime series since the announcement of the fourth installment in 2017. But the Japanese game company might finally unveil updates related to this iconic series at the rumored Nintendo Direct.

An insider, who has previously leaked about The Legend of Zelda and Splatoon 3, is the source for this latest leak. According to the leaks, the upcoming Nintendo Direct will provide fans with a major update about Metroid Prime 4. So far, we know that Nintendo is actively developing the game.

However, the Japanese giants might not just stop at updates related to Metro Prime 4. This event might shed light on some more titles from this series. There are rumors that Nintendo might release remastered versions of the past three Metroid Prime games for the Switch.

Announcing the remastered version of the Metroid Prime Trilogy could be a great strategy to prepare the audience for the fourth installment. But aside from Metroid Prime, they might also reveal other things like more info on the Tears of Kingdom or updates for their other titles.

But it would be too early to trust these leaks, as they have a probability of 50 percent to be true. So, fans should wait for the “Big N” to officially announce anything related to the rumored Direct.
