[Let’s Talk] How are you feeling about Metroid Prime 4?
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is in a somewhat strange position. After the game was announced years ago, the hype has been building over time. Depending on who you talk to though, that hype has been deflating since the proper reveal in June 2024. A couple of other trailers have been released since then, but the game hasn’t seen its true standout moment so far.
The latest Metroid Prime 4 trailer debuted during a Nintendo Direct last week. That revealed the existence of motorcycle gameplay and some sort of open area in a desert. We’ve seen the game a few times now, but there’s still time to showcase it further before the December launch.
Based on what we’ve seen from Metroid Prime 4, how are you feeling about it so far? Do you plan on picking it up at the end of the year? Let us know in the comments.

During today’s Nintendo Direct, a long-awaited update was finally provided on Metroid Prime 4, which now has the Beyond subtitle. The game will be launching in 2025.
To say that it’s been a long wait for Metroid Prime 4 has been an understatement. Nintendo unveiled the project in June 2017, but announced in January 2019 that the entire project was being rebooted with Retro Studios – the series’ original developer – taking over. Little information has been shared since, but we did at least get Metroid Prime Remastered last year.

Metroid art pops up on Retro Studios’ Twitter profile
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
While Metroid had a strong return late last year in the form of Metroid Dread, the series has been quiet when it comes to Metroid Prime 4. Nintendo did reveal the game’s existence way back in 2017, but a couple of years later, announced that the project’s development had been rebooted entirely with Retro Studios taking the helm.
There’s still not much in the way of news regarding Metroid Prime, but there’s been at least a slightly interesting discovery today. Over on Retro Studios’ Twitter page, some art has appeared as it’s showing up on the company’s banner – check it out below. It’s not any sort of indication that something is happening in the near future, but perhaps it can be interpreted as a positive sign. At the very least, Retro is still tinkering away on Metroid Prime 4 in the background.
