Samus Unveils Psychic Powers in Metroid Prime 4 on Viewros

Author : Isaac May 21,2025

During today's Nintendo Switch Direct, fans were treated to an exciting new glimpse of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, showcasing innovative psychic-infused gameplay and introducing a striking red-and-purple suit for our beloved protagonist, Samus Aran.

The showcased footage delved into a range of psychic abilities that Samus will harness to navigate the mysterious planet Viewros when the game launches later this year. The gameplay exudes a BioShock-like atmosphere as Samus scans ancient stone figures and engages new adversaries with bursts of purple energy, deftly controlled by her free hand. While details about this enigmatic jungle world remain scarce, it's evident that intelligent life has long revered the colossal tree at its heart.

Nintendo remains secretive about the exact release date of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, promising only a 2025 launch window. However, the Direct provided a clear demonstration of how these new abilities will enhance gameplay. Players can look forward to using these powers to interact with mysterious mechanisms and strategically guide energy shots through the planet's unique wildlife.

The journey of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has been anything but smooth, starting with its initial reveal as a mere title logo at E3 2017, followed by a prolonged period of silence, a switch in developers, and finally, a reemergence last year with our first taste of gameplay. Today's Direct, centered on the current Nintendo Switch, leaves fans curious about potential enhancements for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Fortunately, it's confirmed that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will be compatible with both platforms.
