After years of waiting, fans of Samus Aran can breathe a little easier — Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is still set to launch in 2025. While updates on the title have been few and far between, especially following the buzz around the upcoming Switch 2, Nintendo has once again confirmed its release window.
It’s no surprise that some players have been skeptical. First revealed back in 2017, Metroid Prime 4 hit a major roadblock in 2019 when development was restarted from scratch due to quality concerns. Since then, information has trickled out slowly, and the game’s absence from the most recent Nintendo Direct — which focused on third-party titles — only added to the uncertainty.
However, in a recent update on its official website, Nintendo addressed those doubts head-on. The company announced its participation in Fan Expo Canada and listed several games that will be available to play at the event — including Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. They took the opportunity to once again stress that the long-anticipated FPS adventure is still on track for a 2025 release.
So while it’s been a long road for Metroid Prime 4, it looks like fans won’t have to wait too much longer to suit up with Samus once more.
Can Metroid Prime 4 win news in September?
While no exact launch date has been shared yet, this update offers some reassurance for longtime Samus fans. It’s possible that a more specific release date will be revealed in an upcoming Nintendo Direct — especially since September is traditionally when the company makes some of its biggest announcements.
