Metroid Prime 4 Gets Another Age Rating As Fans Await Release Date

by

Over the last twelve months, Nintendo has maintained a steady schedule regarding the arrival of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, which is expected to come out in the year 2025. Although an official launch date for Samus Aran’s upcoming journey hasn’t been set yet, Metroid Prime 4 has received another maturity rating.

Initially spotted by reporter Necro Felipe from Video Games Chronicle, it’s now been rated 14+ for Metroid Prime 4 in Brazil. Previously, this game had a +12 rating in South Korea, and in the United States, it was categorized as T for Teen by the ESRB.

In August, Nintendo confirmed that Metroid Prime 4 would likely be released by 2025. We’ll probably hear more details about this during the Nintendo Direct on September 12th. For now, we can only guess what those updates may include.

Since 2017, work on Metroid Prime 4 has been ongoing, however, the original version of the game didn’t meet expectations and had to be abandoned. In 2019, Nintendo revealed that the development for Metroid Prime 4 was being re-initiated by Retro Studios, who were also responsible for creating the first three Metroid Prime games.

As a dedicated gamer, I was thrilled when Nintendo unveiled a sneak peek of Metroid Prime 4 way back in 2024. A more comprehensive preview emerged last March, showcasing Samus’ fresh suit and abilities that had me on the edge of my seat. Excitingly, both Switch and the upcoming Switch 2 will host this long-awaited game, but it’s only the latter that will leverage the advanced mouse controls of Joy-Con 2.
