After what's felt like a lifetime of waiting, the newest entry in the Metroid Prime series, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, finally has a proper trailer and release window. Unveiled in the latest Nintendo Direct, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond's trailer concluded seven years of agony for fans who had all but lost hope for the project. After lengthy periods of radio silence from Nintendo on Prime 4's status, few ever would have expected the next game from developer Retro Studios to steal the show. Now that Metroid Prime 4 is both real and coming as soon as next year, fans can start building hype ahead of its 2025 release.
