After nearly a decade in development, Samus Aran’s saga continues in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, rebuilt from the ground up by Retro Studios.
Dispatched to the mysterious planet Viewros, Samus uncovers a conflict involving the rogue bounty hunter Sylux and a new alien threat. For the first time in the Prime series, Samus gains psychic abilities alongside her iconic Power Suit arsenal, letting her manipulate objects, slow time, and bend energy blasts mid‑flight.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition enhances the experience with 4K/60fps Quality Mode or 120fps Performance Mode, HDR support, and Joy‑Con 2 “mouse‑style” aiming for precision control. Exploration is deeper than ever, with vast open‑world biomes, a new Vi‑O‑La combat bike for traversal, and expanded scanning systems that reveal the secrets of Viewros’ flora, fauna, and ruins.
