During today's Nintendo Switch Direct, fans were treated to an exciting new glimpse of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, showcasing innovative psychic-infused gameplay and a striking new red-and-purple suit for Samus Aran. The footage highlighted a range of psychic abilities that Samus will utilize to navigate the game's mysterious environments upon its release later this year.
The gameplay has a distinct BioShock-like feel, with Samus scanning ancient stone figures and engaging new adversaries on the planet Viewros using a unique purple energy controlled by her free hand. While details about this enigmatic jungle world, where Samus finds herself unexpectedly transported, remain scarce, it's evident that intelligent life has long been centered around a colossal tree at its heart.
Nintendo has been somewhat secretive about the exact launch date of Metroid Prime 4, only confirming a 2025 release window. However, the gameplay revealed today provided insights into how these new psychic abilities will function. Players can expect to use these powers not only to manipulate mysterious mechanisms but also to guide energy shots through the planet's wildlife.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has experienced a tumultuous development journey. Initially announced with just a title logo at E3 2017, the project disappeared for years, underwent a developer change, and finally reemerged last year with our first look at actual gameplay. Today's Direct, focused solely on the current Nintendo Switch, leaves many wondering if Metroid Prime 4 will receive any enhancements on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Fortunately, it has been confirmed that the game will be playable on both platforms.
