Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is an upcoming action-adventure video game developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. It was announced at E3 2017, and was reportedly initially developed by Bandai Namco Studios. In January 2019, development restarted under Retro Studios, the developer of the previous Metroid Prime games. Kensuke Tanabe, who worked on all of the previous Prime games, returned as a producer. Prime 4 is scheduled for release in 2025.

Development

Nintendo announced Metroid Prime 4 during the Nintendo Direct presentation at E3 2017. Bill Trinen, director of product marketing at Nintendo of America, confirmed that the game would involve Metroid producer Kensuke Tanabe but not Retro Studios, which had developed the previous Metroid Prime games.[2][3] While not confirmed by Nintendo, Eurogamer reported that Prime 4 was being developed by both the Bandai Namco Studios of Japan and Singapore, respectively; the Bandai Singapore staff included former LucasArts staff who had worked on the canceled Star Wars 1313.[1]

In 2018, then-Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé stated that Metroid Prime 4 was "well into development" and "proceeding well".[4][5] However, Nintendo did not show it during their E3 2018 Nintendo Direct, and said they would only share more information once they believed they "had something that would wow people".[6]

In a video released in January 2019, Nintendo EPD general manager Shinya Takahashi announced that development had restarted under Retro Studios with Tanabe. Takahashi said that the previous studio had not met Nintendo's standards and that the decision to restart the project was not taken lightly.[7] In October 2020, Retro posted a job advertisement seeking storyboard artists to work on "emotional" and "interesting and innovative scenes that elevate the narrative". Video Games Chronicle took this as an indication of a more cinematic focus.[8] During a Nintendo Direct presentation on June 18, 2024, Nintendo released the first trailer for the game and its full title Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, with a release date of 2025.[9]
