Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Blasts Off December 4
The long wait is almost over! Nintendo and Retro Studios have officially announced that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will launch on December 4. This highly anticipated first-person shooter will be available for both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, promising a thrilling new adventure for fans of Samus Aran.
A New Mission on Planet Vyuros
In Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, players will step back into the iconic Power Suit of Samus Aran as she lands on the mysterious planet Vyuros. Following an unexpected incident, Samus must navigate ancient jungles, scan enigmatic ruins and statues, and gather crucial clues to uncover the planet's secrets. As she progresses, she'll unlock new abilities to aid her journey.
A new addition to Samus's arsenal is her high-tech motorcycle, Vi-O-La. This versatile vehicle will be essential for traversing Vyuros's dangerous terrain and overcoming environmental obstacles, adding a fresh layer of exploration to the series.
Enemies and Allies Await
Vyuros is teeming with alien creatures that Samus will need to contend with in classic Metroid Prime combat. Players will also encounter the enigmatic Lamorn race, who reach out to Samus with an urgent request. However, not all encounters will be friendly; another bounty hunter, Sailux, makes an appearance, harboring a grudge against both the Galactic Federation and Samus herself.
Beyond her traditional weaponry, Samus will gain access to new psychic powers acquired on Vyuros. These abilities are crucial for opening new paths, defeating formidable foes, and solving complex environmental puzzles, requiring players to think strategically about every move.
Enhanced Experience for Nintendo Switch 2
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will be priced at $59.99 for the Nintendo Switch. For players looking to experience the game on the Nintendo Switch 2, it will cost $69.99. An upgrade option will also be available for $9.99, allowing existing Switch owners to transition their game to the newer console with enhanced features.
The Nintendo Switch 2 version boasts several significant technical improvements:
- Control Options: Players can choose between precise aiming with the Joy-Con 2's mouse-like mode or stick to traditional button controls.
- Quality Mode: Experience 4K resolution at 60 frames per second with HDR when docked, and 1080p at 60fps in handheld mode.
- Performance Mode: For those prioritizing fluidity, this mode offers 1080p at 120 frames per second with HDR when docked, and 720p at 120fps in handheld mode.
These options ensure that players can tailor their experience to prioritize either stunning visuals or ultra-smooth gameplay.
As Samus Aran prepares for her latest adventure, fans worldwide can mark their calendars for December 4th. While the game will be available exclusively on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, it's worth noting that Russian language localization is not among the supported options.
