The Lead UI Artist of Retro Studios, Jon Wofford, recently opened up on Twitter and ArtStation about his role in designing the Heads-Up Display (HUD) for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Jon sought to update the HUD for modern gamers while honoring its original appearance. For example, Beyond finally changes the visor shape to match its appearance in Metroid Prime 2 onwards. The Morph Ball HUD is now in the center top of the screen, and appears sleeker. You can read his notes on the HUD design at the link below.

We want to thank Jon and the rest of the Retro team for the amazing work they’re doing to bring us the fourth Metroid Prime game at long last.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is coming to Nintendo Switch sometime in 2025.
