After years of anticipation, Nintendo has officially set a release date for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, exciting fans who have waited since the game's initial reveal at E3 2017.
This landmark entry in the iconic Metroid Prime series is scheduled to launch on December 4th for both the Nintendo Switch and the forthcoming Nintendo Switch 2, promising a new chapter in the storied first-person adventure franchise. As part of the build-up to release, Nintendo published an in-depth, seven-minute overview trailer, which highlights Metroid Prime 4: Beyond’s richly detailed environments, formidable enemies, and next-generation visuals.
The trailer offers a comprehensive look at the latest journey for series protagonist Samus Aran, combining atmospheric exploration with fast-paced combat.
The video underlines Nintendo’s commitment to delivering a polished experience for both new players and longtime fans. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has been in development for eight years, making it one of the most highly anticipated games in the Nintendo Direct lineup.
Since its first announcement, the project experienced a development restart with the involvement of Retro Studios, the acclaimed developer behind previous Metroid Prime games.
This dedication reflects Nintendo's focus on quality and maintaining the legacy of the Metroid franchise, a cornerstone of Nintendo's exclusive offerings on the eShop. With the release date now set, Nintendo has also opened pre-orders for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on major platforms such as Amazon, giving players the chance to secure their copy ahead of the holiday season.
In addition to the game, fans can collect three related amiibo figures.
Two previously released Samus amiibo are now available, and a brand-new Sylux amiibo will debut in conjunction with the game's launch on December 4th.
Details regarding what in-game content these amiibo will unlock have yet to be announced, but Nintendo encourages fans to stay tuned for future updates via official channels. The launch of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond strengthens the ever-expanding library of the Nintendo Switch and further positions the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 as a must-have platform for serious gamers.
As the December 4th release date approaches, both the gaming industry and Metroid enthusiasts are looking forward to a new era for Samus Aran and the beloved Metroid Prime series.
