Yes, it is real. 7 years after it was announced, and 5 years after its development was restarted, Metroid Prime 4 has finally made a reappearance. The game is called Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and it will be releasing on the Nintendo Switch in 2025. The game was the final thing shown in today’s Nintendo Direct. You can see the official trailer down below.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond releasing in 2025
This seems like a set up that will be launching alongside the new console as dual release imo.
Them just saying 2025 without any other release window leads me to believe you’re right on the money.
You could be right dude. This is where all the money hits.
||I’ll be back…||
The only thing that is coming back is your incompetence as the first order commander.
?
DarkRavenbeak is commander Quadraxis.
Oh he is? Is he a troll?
He is the Nintendo first order Quadraxis from the classic mynintendonews days.
He is from an ancient time when this site was all about the 3DS and even before then in the Wii and DS days
What happens to his other account?
||Lord Kimishima told me that my services weren’t required anymore and dismantled my former shell…||
I noticed that they used 2 games in this trailer👀
||………………..||
Y’all been doing that commander roleplay war for 11 years wow…. I gave of the Rosalina stuff… Persistence…nice
||Yes…persistence…||
I have awaited your return commander…
||Kneel…||
Nintendo Commander is that you? I haven’t heard from you many years way before that covid flu.
||I never left this bastion…||
At long last, the wait is finally over!
Looks beautiful.
This has to be a dual release. Either way it looks superb
I can’t believe they’re actually releasing this on the switch: thank goodness I didn’t place that bet yesterday 😹
To be honest… kinda underwhelming.
It looks like it is a direct sequel and not something entirely new. This is a smart decision. I imagine that’s why it took so long. They probably wanted to change it drastically and if so it wouldn’t be a Prime series but something of its own.
Why wouldn’t this be saved for the Switch’s successor? This could have used the better hardware to improve the wow factor upon its reveal.
Bc it was announced for the switch…
At long last, I have no doubt that this is a possible cross over game for switch/switch 2.
I imagine this game will run smoother on the e switch 2, but will still be a great experience on the switch.
I know a lot of people, with the release scheduled for next year would’ve hoped that this game would’ve been a full blown switch 2 title with all the extra raw power, but I’m kinda glad it’s on switch, it deserves it place on such an amazing console and it’ll send it out with a bang.
It might have amazing sales, but the Switch hardware isn’t “amazing”. It’s also not a “console” it’s a handheld with TV out.
Not Amazing? So why is it that Steam Deck and others decided to copy “a not Amazing Switch” and not Sony or Xbox power houses then?
I am beyond stoked that this finally has a teaser trailer. This is certainly a cross-gen game, and that makes me happy!
It looks like a high end ps4 pro game, which is incredible nice for the switch, triple A Nintendo games will ALWAYS look absolutely phenomenal
Yes I have some theories about that.
Looks and sounds more like Halo then Halo has for over a decade.
Which is very ironic.
Back in the olden days of ppl comparing Metroid with Halo; Samus with Master Chief
Now today Halo is a shell of its former self and Metroid is getting a resurgence of popularity and bangers.
Some people should open their eyes, it’s just a switch game… On the other hand, the vagueness regarding its date coincides with what I said: it will be the last on switch and one of the first on the successor
Many people believe and speculated that the graphics is on the successor of the Nintendo Switch.
Looking at the overall graphics geometry and various textures, I’m surprised at the complexity of the scenes. I know the switch can handle it, but I’m wondering if this trailer is beta footage from the next-gen Nintendo console. Just a thought.
Either way, Retro definitely upgraded their game engine and they had a good amount of help.
This is impressive I have to say, this new game just made my day!!!
Hmmmm I wonder why this game looks better unveiled at first, but Halo first shown on Series X looked the worst.
This game I think its.gotta be, Cross gen oh wait we gotta.see.
Been waiting over a decade for this. UNDERWHELMING trailer. Missing music.. missing excitement .. no new gameplay mechanics shown.. yawn.
I’ll be excited when we get an ACTUAL release date.
