Nintendo Unveils New Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Trailer with Psychic Abilities and Jungle Setting

The 2025 release remains unscheduled as new gameplay footage highlights Samus’ powers, her red and black suit, and the planet Viewros.

Nintendo released a new trailer for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond during its March 2025 Nintendo Direct, showcasing gameplay and narrative elements.
The trailer introduced the jungle planet Viewros as the primary setting, where Samus gains psychic abilities to manipulate objects, solve puzzles, and guide beam trajectories.
Samus’ new red and black suit was revealed, alongside a glimpse of new enemies, including a boss named Carvex, and the return of Metroids.
The game’s central mystery revolves around the origin of Samus’ psychic powers and her role as the 'Chosen One,' hinted at by a mysterious alien figure.
While still slated for a 2025 release, no specific date has been announced; the game will be compatible with both the current Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2.
