New Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Gameplay Trailer Revealed

A new gameplay trailer for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond was revealed at the March 2025 Nintendo Direct. The game will release for Switch sometime in 2025.

In new gameplay trailer, Nintendo showed more of Metroid Prime 4. The trailer introduced us to Planet Viewros, a jungle planet built around a giant tree, along with a selection of new enemies that Samus will face off against. The trailer also revealed that most of Samus’ new abilities are going to revolve around psychic powers. Telekinesis was the main power shown off, with Samus moving energy around, manipulating objects and changing the trajectory of her beams.

We also got hints at the game’s plot, as a mysterious alien race appear to have called Samus to their planet. One of them calls her the Chosen One. A new red suit was also shown right at the end of the trailer too, although it’s not clear what the purpose of it is yet.

Metroid Prime 4 was first announced way back in 2017. It was being worked on by an unconfirmed developer until 2019, when development restarted under original Metroid Prime developer Retro Studios. It finally resurfaced at the June 2024 Nintendo Direct, now under the title Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will release for Nintendo Switch later in 2025.
