During today's Nintendo Switch Direct, fans were treated to another exciting glimpse of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, showcasing new gameplay mechanics and a striking red-and-purple suit for Samus.
The spotlight was on Samus's new psychic abilities, which she will employ to explore the mysterious planet Viewros when the game launches later this year. The showcased footage gave off strong BioShock vibes as Samus scanned ancient stone figures and engaged new enemies with blasts of purple energy, skillfully controlled with her free hand. The jungle world of Viewros, where Samus finds herself unexpectedly transported, hints at a rich history centered around a colossal tree, suggesting the presence of intelligent life.
While Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the exact release date within the 2025 window, the Direct provided insights into how these new abilities function. Samus's powers will enable her to interact with enigmatic mechanisms and guide energy shots through the planet's indigenous wildlife, adding depth to the gameplay experience.Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has been on a tumultuous journey since its initial reveal with just a logo at E3 2017, followed by a period of silence, a change in developers, and a resurgence last year with gameplay footage.
