Shown to close today’s Nintendo Direct, the first full trailer for Metroid Prime 4 was revealed. As expected, the visuals and gameplay of the game seem to have taken a massive leap forward since 2007’s Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Generally speaking, though, Nintendo is still keeping details on the title close to the chest. Other than revealing its new official title, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and a 2025 launch window, little else is known about the project.
You can watch the new trailer for Metroid Prime 4 for yourself right here:
“The galaxy’s greatest bounty hunter Samus Aran will embark on a new mission,” says Nintendo’s official synopsis of the game. “Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, a new entry in the Metroid Prime series, is coming to Nintendo Switch in 2025.”
Given that Metroid Prime 4 isn’t slated to release until 2025, questions will almost certainly arise about the game’s potential to appear on the “Switch 2” console. Currently, Nintendo has only broadly confirmed that it’s working on a successor to the Nintendo Switch but hasn’t said anything about when it will arrive. Still, it’s widely reported (and assumed) that the hardware will launch at some point this coming year. Whether or not Metroid Prime 4 ends up being a cross-gen title for both Switch and Switch 2 isn’t yet known, but this question will surely continue to persist in the months ahead.
What do you think about Metroid Prime 4: Beyond based on this new trailer? And do you think that the game will end up coming to Switch 2? Let me know your own thoughts over on social media at @MooreMan12.
