Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is the next installment in the iconic Metroid series. Originally announced during Nintendo’s E3 2017 presentation, the game has now been re-announced with a flashy new trailer and a new title. We’ve compiled all known information about the game below.
What is Metroid Prime 4: Beyond?
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is a sci-fi first-person adventure where players take on the role of iconic bounty hunter Samus Aran, who takes on Space Pirates and Metroids across the in-game galaxy. The game is developed by Retro Studios and will be published by Nintendo.
Since its original reveal back in 2017, news about it has been scarce and fans have been worried about whether the game will see the light of day. But, in the June 2024 Nintendo Direct, a proper gameplay trailer for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has been released. We don’t know about the story of the game but it involves Samus Aran embarking on a new mission and the Sylux as the potential antagonist (based on the new gameplay trailer). Regardless, it will definitely include Samus wiping out a bunch of pirates and Metroids.
What is the Release Date of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond?
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is set for release in 2025, without any specific release window or date. The last Metroid game, Metroid Prime: Remastered was released in February last year. However, since this was a remaster, this does not necessarily guarantee that this new entry in the series will release around the same time. In fact, it’s likely that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will be a cross-gen release between the Nintendo Switch and its successor and could be a launch title for the new console, so we’ll have to wait for more details next year.
What Platforms will Metroid Prime 4: Beyond be on?
As with the previous Metroid games, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will be released on the Nintendo Switch. The series has been a Nintendo exclusive title since the first game in 1986 so it is unlikely that it will ever be released on any other platform.
