This week's Nintendo Direct started off with a bang, announcing that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond would be released sometime later in the year. 2025Along with the title and release date reveal, we also got our first look at the new chapter, which was originally announced seven years ago.
If you're eager for even more footage, it looks like Nintendo's Japanese teaser website for the game actually featured a little extra. The background of the page shows another glimpse of the jungle-like environment we got a brief glimpse of in the official trailer.
Here is this new footage, uploaded by user ‘X’ and YouTuber ‘looygibros.’ As you can see, this lush biome is filled with waterfalls, some open spaces, and lots of rocks and trees.
While it might not seem like much after the main trailer, it's unclear when we'll get our next proper look at Metroid Prime 4, so we'll take it! Right now, we know the game will feature the same combat and abilities (like the Morph Ball) as previous entries, but it's not yet clear what the gameplay will be like Ahead it.
