Rumor: Metroid Prime 4 Release Date Leaked

by

It’s been speculated that the release date for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond might be Thursday, September 18. Originally announced in the summer of 2017 for the Nintendo Switch, Metroid Prime 4 was one of the first games to be revealed for the system. However, after a few years, Nintendo surprisingly declared that they were restarting the development process on the game, with Retro Studios now handling it instead of Bandai Namco.

Following the announcement that development on the highly anticipated game, Metroid Prime 4, was being restarted, there was a scarcity of information about it. At the time, all fans had was a preliminary logo and minimal details until 2024, when Nintendo unveiled the first comprehensive trailer for the game, showcasing gameplay, plot elements, and its subtitle “Beyond.” As of now, an official release date for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has yet to be declared. However, if recent speculation is accurate, fans might be able to play the game in a few short weeks.

Metroid Prime 4 Rumored Release Date

Fans of the Metroid series might want to approach this with caution, but Reddit user SHoulderAdvanced6854 has noticed an intriguing detail – Russian retailer Videoigr has posted a September 18th release date for what appears to be Metroid Prime 4. If correct, this would imply a rapid transition from the game’s announcement to its release. It’s been rumored that Nintendo is planning a Nintendo Direct in September to unveil upcoming games, including possibly Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, so one could expect the release date to be revealed during such an event.

While it’s thrilling for fans to anticipate the potential release of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on September 18, it would be prudent not to get overly enthusiastic just yet. After all, Nintendo has surprised us in the past with unexpected releases like Metroid Prime Remastered, and this summer even saw a slip-up where promotional materials suggested the game was already available. It’s plausible that we might experience another surprise release with Metroid Prime 4, but it’s equally likely that there could be a gap between the announcement in the September 2025 Nintendo Direct and the actual release date of the game.

One factor making this rumor more plausible is that Nintendo currently has no significant releases planned for September 2025. Normally, Nintendo puts out approximately one exclusive game per month, and it appears skipping September would be a wasted opportunity given their usual schedule. October is booked with the release of Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and Kirby Air Riders is set for November. There’s speculation that Nintendo might move the launch of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond from September to December instead, but we’ll need to wait and see if this is true. The release date for Metroid Prime 4 is yet unclear, so it will be intriguing to observe any developments concerning its schedule and the accuracy of the leak.
