Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

Release Date: December 4, 2025

Samus returns on a motorcycle

I won't hide that I would gladly play Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on PC. Unfortunately, Nintendo is sticking to their exclusivity policy, so this Samus adventure is only coming out on Switch handhelds. We're talking about the Metroid subseries here. The main games are metroidvanias, but this one's an FPS,Prime!

Nintendo exclusives only on Switch

This time, Samus will visit the planet Viewros. Besides her standard set of abilities, the protagonist will also gain access to psychic skills. She will be able to travel on a motorcycle, which will be useful for exploring locations. You'll have plenty of environmental puzzles, battles with smaller enemies, and some tough boss fights too.
