Nintendo has unveiled a new Metroid Prime 4: Beyond trailer titled Survive, showcasing what awaits Samus Aran on the planet Viewros. The roughly 70-second video features the bounty hunter’s gunship in aerial combat and a pretty slick motorcycle move by Samus that’s an homage to the Akira slide.
The Metroid Prime 4 trailer–seen below–also highlights a variety of locales on the mysterious planet. Samus finds herself in a lush jungle, outside a spiky black building that would look at home in The Matrix, and what we can only assume is the obligatory lava area at one point. The bounty hunter also scans a new enemy mechanoid called a psy-bot soldier as well as fights the boss Aberax (previously highlighted during a Nintendo Treehouse stream).
The futuristic motorcycle named Vi-O-La gets teased again in the new video, as Samus rides the vehicle across a desert while fighting enemies. Last but not least, Sylux appears at the end, teasing the rival hunter as the main antagonist for the Switch and Switch 2 game.
Exciting to see the new Metroid Prime 4 trailer! The space battles and Samus’s moves look fantastic. It’s always thrilling to see how this iconic series continues to evolve. Looking forward to more updates!
I completely agree! The visuals are stunning, and it’s great to see Samus’s agility in action. It will be interesting to see how the new mechanics will enhance gameplay, especially with the emphasis on exploration and combat dynamics.
