Metroid Prime 4: 2025 Release Confirmed, New Mission Awaits

Metroid Prime 4: A New Mission Awaits in 2025

Get ready, space explorers! Nintendo has officially confirmed a 2025 release for Metroid Prime 4 on the Nintendo Switch. The announcement was subtly made via an update to the official Metroid website, stating players will “embark on a new mission.”

A Long Time Coming

The news, first spotted on Reddit, has sent ripples of excitement through the fanbase. This highly anticipated sequel was initially announced at E3 2017, undergoing a complete redevelopment by Retro Studios before finally unveiling its first teaser trailer. The game, now titled Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, promises a new chapter in Samus Aran’s adventures.

What We Know (and Don’t Know)

While story details are scarce, we know Metroid Prime 4 will be a first-person shooter, continuing the legacy of the acclaimed Metroid Prime trilogy. The wait has been extensive, with the last mainline entry, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, releasing on the Wii in 2007. A remastered version of the original Metroid Prime was released last year.

With Nintendo’s unannounced Switch successor potentially arriving in 2025, Metroid Prime 4 might be one of the final AAA titles for the current console. Fortunately, Nintendo has confirmed backwards compatibility, ensuring existing Switch games, including Metroid Prime 4, will be playable on the next generation console.

Prepare for Launch

The year-long wait continues, but the confirmation of a 2025 release date is cause for celebration. Prepare for blast-off as Samus embarks on her next thrilling mission!
