This week’s Nintendo Direct went out with a bang, announcing that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will be released at some point in in 2025. Along with revealing the title and release date, we got our first look at the new chapter, which was originally announced seven years ago.
If you’re hungry for even more footage, Nintendo’s Japanese announcement site for the game actually seems to have quite a bit more. The background of the page is another look at the jungle-like environment, which we got a brief look at in the official trailer.
Here’s this new footage, thanks to the upload User ‘X’ and YouTuber ‘looygibros’. As you can see, this lush biome is filled with waterfalls, some open spaces, and lots of cliffs and trees.
While this may not seem like much after the main trailer, it’s unclear exactly when we’ll get our next real look at Metroid Prime 4, so we’ll take it! Right now we know that the game will apparently feature the same fights and abilities (like the Morph Ball) as the previous entries, but it’s not yet clear what the gameplay will be like Above this one.
