Nintendo showed the second official trailer for Metroid Prime 4 during their most recent Nintendo Direct.
We learn that Samus is stranded on a planet called Viewros and is trying to find her way off. She attains psychic abilities that allow her to control objects with her mind, even beams out of her arm cannon. We see her scanning objects and fighting hostile life forms in a lush, wild landscape. At the end, we see Samus in a new power suit.
This trailer gives us a little more than we had from the first trailer we got last June, but not anything that truly sets it apart from other games in the series so far. Nintendo seems to still be holding their cards close to their chest with Metroid Prime 4, which is very consistent with how they like to treat major flagship games like Metroid and Zelda. They love to surprise players, and given that Prime 4 has been in development for at least six years that we know of, I suspect there’s a lot they’re still not telling us.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is coming to Nintendo Switch sometime in 2025, and will likely be releasing for Switch 2 as well. Check out the story and gameplay trailer below:
Metroid Prime 4 is looking better with each trailer! I am definitely looking forward to this one.

I’m cautiously optimistic about Prime 4. Rumors are that Retro is already in development on Metroid Prime 5. If that’s true, they must be very confident in Prime 4.
