Although there hasn’t been any news on Metroid Prime 4 in a very long time, the game looks amazing in this new video. Not to mention the return of Sylux.
Retro Studios debuted new Metroid Prime 4: Beyond gameplay during the June 2024 Nintendo Direct. The Nintendo Switch game is scheduled for release in 2025.
First revealed in 2017, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond was purportedly being developed by Bandai Namco. Nevertheless, work was moved to Retro Studios in 2019 and then resumed. Up until today, there haven’t been many significant upgrades.
In the teaser, Samus takes out a swarm of space pirates in first-person gameplay. Her morph ball and other tools, such as her scan visor, are back. The background shows the explosion of a facility, and we see her tumbling through a vent with it.
It was also disclosed that Sylux, the bounty hunter, is making a comeback as an adversary. In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Metroid Prime: Federation Force’s unique endings, he made an appearance, setting the stage for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond’s events.
The final scene of the teaser features Samus emerging from a tunnel onto a verdant, beautiful setting complete with waterfalls and soaring birds. At that point, the panel fades to dark, revealing the release window for 2025.
The release date of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on the current Nintendo Switch, its sequel, or both is unknown, though. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond might be the game that launches with the successor, as there are reports that it will also come in 2025. The circumstances might be comparable to those surrounding the 2017 release of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for both the Switch and the Wii U.
Fans can satisfy their Metroid cravings in the interim with Metroid Prime Remastered and Metroid Dread, even though Metroid Prime 4: Beyond won’t be released until 2025.
