Nintendo lets Samus come out to play with a new adventure every so often – most recently with 2021's inventive and well-received Metroid Dread – but there's been a question on every Metroid fan's lips since Metroid Prime 3 in 2007. When's the sequel? Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is finally ready to share its answer: 2025. Given what we've seen so far, we have every reason to be hopeful that the long-awaited sequel will be worth the wait.
It's clear that Nintendo wants to get this one right. First revealed in 2017, in 2019 it was announced that everything thus far created had been scrapped, and the project had been transferred from the previous studio (reported to be Bandai Namco) to Metroid Prime veterans Retro Studios. With Kensuke Tanabe also on board – the producer of all three entries in the original trilogy – it's impossible to imagine a better team for the job. Samus is home.
