Nintendo has released a new overview trailer for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, specifically the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. The trailer is approximately seven minutes long.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond begins with an attack on the Galactic Federation UTO Research Center by Samus’ sworn archrival Sylux. Samus answers the distress call and soon becomes entangled in an unexpected disaster. Awakening on the unknown planet of Viewros, she must fight to survive and escape.
Viewros is home to ferocious beasts, and diverse locales – including lush jungles, a factory beset with storms, a research lab frozen in ice and a facility nestled in a volcano— each connected by a central desert called Sol Valley. Employ tools like the Scan Visor and Samus’ core abilities – like the Power Beam, Missiles, form-altering Morph Ball and more – to gather information, fight, access new areas and find a way forward. Samus will also receive mysterious Psychic Abilities that enable her to manipulate energy, activate machinery, and more.
Freely traverse the roadless desert of Sol Valley on Vi-O-La, a vehicle left behind by an ancient civilization. Use Vi-O-La to counter attacks from approaching enemies, and smash crystals at high-speed to convert them into the energy you’ll need on your adventure. Plus, depending on her location, Samus can instantly summon and ride Vi-O-La.
A new Metroid Prime 4: Beyond series amiibo figure of Sylux will be available when the game launches on Dec. 4. The Metroid Prime 4: Beyond series amiibo figures of Samus & Vi-O-La and Samus are available now. Tap these amiibo to unlock various in-game extras.
Nintendo Switch players who would like to upgrade may purchase the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition – Upgrade Pack. Please be sure to purchase the game edition that matches your system. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond launches Dec. 4. Pre-orders are available now on Nintendo eShop and select retailers.
