Yes, Metroid Prime 4 Is Still Coming Out In 2025

2025 appears to be the year for dedicated fans of Metroid Prime, who have shown remarkable patience over nearly a decade. This is because Nintendo has announced that 2022 will be an important year, with not only the launch of the Switch 2 console but also the unveiling of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, one of several high-profile games set to debut in 2025.

As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share that Nintendo has given us a sneak peek into their 2025 lineup! Although they haven’t set an exact date yet, Metroid Prime 4 is undeniably one of the four highly anticipated first-party releases next year. Joining it will be Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Xenoblade Chronicles X coming out in March, and Pokemon Legends Z-A. I can hardly wait!

Metroid Prime 4 was initially revealed for Nintendo Switch at E3 2017, but since then there has been little to no news about the game. In 2019, Nintendo disclosed that they had restarted development on the game because it wasn’t meeting their desired quality standards. This implies that the game might be compatible with the Switch 2, though it’s uncertain if a separate Switch 2 version will be sold.

After a lengthy period of quietness, during which Metroid Dread and the remastered version of Metroid Prime temporarily filled the gap, the game resurfaced in the summer of 2024 with an exciting new teaser trailer. While there are still many unknowns regarding Metroid Prime 4, as its launch draws nearer, it’s quite probable that Nintendo will unveil more trailers to give fans a sneak peek at what awaits when they once again don the power-armor of Samus Aran.

In recent updates, Nintendo surpassed a 13-year record with the sales of its Switch console and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains a significant commercial success for the company. However, not everything has been positive for Nintendo, as they admitted that both hardware and software sales were lower than anticipated, resulting in adjusted forecasts. The company now anticipates selling 11 million Switch consoles – a decrease from its initial projection of 12.5 million units – by the end of their fiscal year on March 31, 2025.
