A new rumor suggests that developer Retro Studios will be moving on to start development on Metroid Prime 5 soon, which is an exciting tease considering Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has yet to be released. The Metroid action-adventure series began back in 1986 with Nintendo at the helm, following bounty hunter Samus Aran, who fights on behalf of the galaxy against Space Pirates. The IP has released 11 main games, 12 including the upcoming Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and plenty of spin-off titles, such as Metroid Prime Pinball.
Metroid Prime 4 was officially announced at E3 2017, and sees the return of Samus using psychic powers on the planet Viewros against rival bounty hunter Sylux. With only a 2025 window to go by, predictions are rolling in for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond’s release date, and October is likely not the month to avoid Pokemon Legends: Z-A, which is also in Nintendo’s catalog. The Metroid title is confirmed to be launching on both the original Switch and the Nintendo Switch 2.
Metroid Prime 4 proves again that great art direction beats flashy visuals, using light, sound, and space to pull players deep into its alien world.
