Nintendo has confirmed that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will be released in 2025, marking an eight-year wait for fans of the series. The game was initially announced in 2017 but saw its development rebooted in 2019 due to quality concerns. A new teaser trailer was revealed in Summer 2024, and while details remain scarce, it’s likely that Nintendo will release more trailers as the release date approaches.
The game is expected to be backward-compatible with the Switch 2 console, although a native version for purchase may not be available. The news comes after Nintendo reported a 13-year sales record for its Switch console and confirmed that hardware and software sales are below expectations. The company now predicts 11 million Switch console sales for the current fiscal year.
The long-awaited Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is one of several high-profile releases planned for 2025, including Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Xenoblade Chronicles X, and Pokémon Legends Z-A. Fans can expect more information on the game in the coming months as Nintendo continues to build anticipation.
