Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Drops New “Survive” Gameplay Trailer
Nintendo has dropped a new “Survive” gameplay trailer for the highly anticipated Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, confirming Samus’ next mission begins on the Switch 2 on December 4, 2025.
The new trailer for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond highlights the protagonist, Samus Aran. After an encounter with the bounty hunter Sylax, she finds herself stranded on the planet Viewros, where she must battle deadly alien creatures to find a way back home.
While brief, the Survive trailer showcases what players can expect when the FPS launches in December, highlighting a few in-game cinematics, shooting gameplay, and Samus’ new motorbike.
New Psychic Abilities: Samus’ Evolved Combat and Puzzles
The most significant change in the Prime formula, and highlighted by the trailer, is the new psychic abilities that Samus gains from Viewros. These new powers give her the ability to manipulate the environment, operate mechanisms, and change the direction of charge beam shots from her Arm Cannon.
These new powers, along with Samus’ expanded arsenal of weapons, will offer an all-new dynamic to combat and puzzles. Nintendo has also confirmed that players can utilize the Switch 2 mouse function, allowing for faster movement and more precise aiming.
The Vi-O-La Motorcycle: Hints at Open-Area Exploration
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is shaking up how Samus explores and traverses the environment, with the new Vi-O-La motorcycle. Nintendo has confirmed that this motorcycle will be used for travel and exploration across the planet, allowing Samus to perform power slides and boost into enemies.
The introduction of the Vi-O-La motorbike hints at high-speed traversal across large environments, suggesting the largest world yet for a Metroid Prime game. Nintendo’s upcoming shooter appears to blend traditional Metroidvania exploration with modern open-area environments.
Development History, Release Date, and Switch 2 Launch
Nintendo first announced Metroid Prime 4: Beyond at E3 2017 during the company’s Spotlight event. After a struggling development process, the action-adventure shooter moved from its initial developer, Bandai Namco, and rebooted in 2019 with the help of Retro Studios.
The “Survive” trailer confirms that Retro Studios and Nintendo are ready to deliver their ambitious Metroid Prime 4 on December 4, 2025. Samus’ new journey will release for the Switch and Switch 2 consoles.
Conclusion
Nintendo has released a new trailer for the upcoming Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. The first-person shooter will launch on December 4, 2025 for Switch and Switch 2. Do you like the new trailer? Share your thoughts in the comments.
