The Nintendo of America store listing for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has updated its plot summary. If you’re trying to avoid spoilers, you may not want to keep reading.
For those who want to know:
Deadly sharpshooter Sylux has finally caught up with renowned bounty hunter Samus Aran! After an unexpected accident in the wake of their clash, Samus finds herself transported to Viewros—a mysterious planet once inhabited by an ancient race. Now she must explore this planet, all while battling the strange creatures that inhabit it, to find her way home.
Scan your surroundings for clues, make the most of your equipment and weapons, and use Samus’s newfound psychic abilities to manipulate her surroundings. Operate mechanisms in the environment, control your charge beam, and more—you’ll need every tool at your disposal to survive and escape Viewros!
The accident is likely Sylux shooting the mysterious artifact during his appearance at the beginning of the game, as seen in recent footage from the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience. Some have theorized that this was how Samus was transported to Viewros, and it looks like they were right!
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is scheduled for release in 2025. As soon as we have any news, namely a release date, we will bring it to you straight away! Watch this space.
