In the June 2024 Nintendo Direct, Metroid Prime 4 made a triumphant return and the game, which has been dormant for seven years with no updates, is now Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Nintendo offered a release window of 2025 and shared a full trailer.
The trailer showcased the new title and its dark purple color scheme. It began with a look at Samus’ new ship. From there, we saw Morph-Ball maneuvering, first-person shooting, and the scanning mechanic. The video involved her exploring a Galactic Federation facility under attack and encountering the space pirate assault. It confirmed that the game will look and feel a lot like the classic Metroid Prime first-person exploration gameplay.
However, gameplay and space pirates are not all that the trailer had to offer. It also showed a person who looks a lot like Sylux from Metroid Prime Hunters and the secret ending of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
We can view the trailer for the new entry in the series here:
It has been seven years since Metroid Prime 4 was announced, with no major updates or insights into how it looks or what it would become from Retro Studios. We do know remaster of the original.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will be available for the Nintendo Switch in 2025
