A world unknown. A mind unleashed.
Samus Aran, the galaxy’s greatest bounty hunter, must explore the mysterious planet of Viewros, wielding new psychic abilities to find a way home in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.
Battle alien threats and formidable bosses, navigate your way through labyrinthine environments, and discover new abilities and upgrades to power your pursuit of Viewros’ secrets.
Behold, the planet Viewros...
After an unexpected accident during a clash with the dangerous 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...
Samus Aran
One of the greatest bounty hunters in the galaxy. Capable of overcoming any obstacle – no matter the danger.
Sylux
An enigmatic bounty hunter and deadly sharpshooter with a deep-seated grudge against the Galactic Federation – and Samus.
Galactic Federation Troopers
Several troopers also find themselves unexpectedly transported to Viewros. They’ll help Samus out as they try find their way home together.
Lamorn
An alien race that once existed on planet Viewros. They make a solemn request of Samus, granting her new psychic abilities.
Grievers
Ferocious predators found throughout Viewros. They often hunt in packs and are known to attack other creatures indiscriminately.
Wield new abilities
Upon arriving on Viewros, Samus is granted new psychic abilities by the Lamorn. Using these abilities, she’ll be able to operate mechanisms, control the trajectory of charged shots and more, granting access to previously inaccessible areas of the planet.
Along for the ride
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.
