Samus must navigate through labyrinthine environments and discover new abilities and upgrades as she explores a mysterious alien planet

Samus Aran, the galaxy’s greatest bounty hunter, must explore planet Viewros and wield new psychic abilities to find a way home in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, available now for Nintendo Switch 2. The Nintendo Switch version of the game launches is also available now.

After an unexpected accident during a clash with the enigmatic bounty hunter Sylux, Samus finds herself transported to a strange new planet. She’ll need to thoroughly explore this hostile alien world if she’s to make it off the planet alive. As she battles terrifying threats, Samus navigates her way through labyrinthine environments, and discovers new abilities and upgrades to power her pursuit of its secrets.

Upon arrival, Samus is granted new psychic abilities by the Lamorn, an alien race that once existed on Viewros and now makes a solemn request of her. Using these abilities, she’s able to operate mechanisms, control the trajectory of charged shots and more, granting access to previously inaccessible areas.

As her adventure progresses, Samus also acquires a vehicle called Vi-O-La. Equipped with advanced features, she can ride it across the planet, using unique weaponry to fight enemies. Several Galactic Federation Troopers find themselves unexpectedly transported to Viewros as well and will help Samus out as they look for a way home together.
