Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Drops Amazing Present

After nearly two decades of anticipation, Nintendo has officially announced the release of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, set to launch on December 4, 2025. This long-awaited sequel to Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (2007) will be available on both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2, promising a next-gen experience for fans of the franchise.

The development journey of Metroid Prime 4 has been anything but straightforward. Originally teased in 2017, the project was rebooted and handed back to Retro Studios, the team that was behind the original trilogy. That decision seems to have paid off, as early glimpses from the recent Nintendo Direct showcase stunning visuals, a darker tone, and a return to the atmospheric darker tone, and a return to the atmospheric exploration that made the series popular in the first place.

One of the most intriguing additions is Samus’s new ride: the Vi-O-La bike, a sleek, futuristic vehicle that adds a fresh layer to traversal and combat. While details on gameplay mechanics remain under wraps, fans are already speculating on how this new gear will reshape the Metroid universe.

Amiibo Drops: Samus, Sylux, and a Cool New Ride

To celebrate the launch, Nintendo is releasing a trio of brand-new Amiibo figures that are already generating buzz and making fans go broke. Preorders are now live at your local Amazon, Walmart, and Gamestop.

Here’s what’s coming:

• Samus & Vi-O-La Amiibo- ($39.99, releasing Nov 6, 2025): This dual figure features Samus riding her new bike, making it a must-have for collectors.
• Samus (standalone)– ($29.99, releasing Nov 6, 2025): This dual figure features Samus riding her new bike, making it a must-have for collectors.
•  Sylux Amiibo– ($29.99, releasing Dec 4, 2025): This enigmatic bounty hunter returns, sparking theories about his role in the upcoming game.

While Nintendo hasn’t revealed how these Amiibo will function in-game, fans expect unlockable content, exclusive gear, or lore expansions. Given the franchise’s history of rewarding exploration and secrets, these figures could be more than shelf candy.

With Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Nintendo isn’t just reviving a beloved series- it’s reimagining it for a new generation. Between the sleek new bike, mysterious characters, and the return of Retro Studios, this release is shaping up to be one of the most exciting moments in gaming for 2025.
