Nintendo Revs Up the Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Hype Train on Social Media

The release of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is only 22 days away — it’s entered “the Milk-Radius,” if you will — and Nintendo’s marketing teams are working hard to build anticipation. Earlier this week, in fact, Nintendo of America’s official X account invited fans to “navigate the vast land of Viewros” on Samus’ new ride Vi-O-La with a link to pre-order and a short gameplay clip of the bounty hunter putting wheels to sand.

The gameplay clip above is actually taken from Beyond’s third trailer, which debuted during September’s Nintendo Direct. So, while offering little in terms of new information, Nintendo’s post is merely meant to build hype and remind fans to pre-order. Nothing like a little motorcycle action to get your blood pumping, right?

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond hits store shelves on December 4th. You can pre-order the game for both Switch and Switch 2 right here.

Have you pre-ordered Metroid Prime 4: Beyond yet? How excited are you to drift over dunes on Vi-O-La? Share your thoughts on our Discord server or down in the comments!
