For the first time, Sammus is shown riding a motorcycle – this marks a stark contrast from the bounty hunter’s usual preferred method of traveling as a sphere. In Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Sammus finds herself on the unknown planet, Viewros, which is characterized by its ancient forest greenery. While exploring the planet, Sammus gains mysterious psychic powers, serving as tools to survive against the sharpshooting Sylux.
The game’s direct predecessor, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, was released in 2007 for the Nintendo Wii. It has reportedly sold over 1.4 million copies since its initial launch.
