Metroid Prime 4 gets long-awaited trailer and 2025 release date

Metroid Prime 4 was first announced in late 2017 and fans have been waiting for news on the game ever since. Today during Nintendo Direct, we finally got our first full trailer, including a look at gameplay ahead of the game's 2025 release date. 

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is releasing for Nintendo Switch in 2025. The short two minute trailer showcases Samus on an alien planet, faced with new threats:

Interestingly, with this game releasing in 2025, it could end up being a cross-generation title. Nintendo is currently planning a ‘Switch 2', utilising the same portable/home console concept, with some design changes and newer hardware under the hood. The new console will be backwards compatible, but we do not yet know if older titles will benefit from the newer hardware with higher frame rates or resolutions.

Metroid isn't the only major Nintendo IP getting some love today. Nintendo also announced a new Zelda game too, in which players will finally play as Zelda herself, instead of Link.
