Metroid Prime 1–3: A Visual Retrospective arrives October 28, 2025, and celebrates Samus Aran’s iconic adventures. Developed in collaboration with Nintendo and Retro Studios, this hardcover visual retrospective spans over two decades of design, concept art, and behind-the-scenes insights across the Metroid Prime trilogy. Reflecting the series’ evolution through Metroid Prime Remastered.
Fans can expect early concept sketches, environmental studies, character iterations, and developer commentary revealing how the Prime trilogy’s look and feel were created. The volume features high-quality art paper, a cloth hardcover, and metallic foil, making it a premium collectible.
This release also lands at a meaningful time for the community. Metroid Prime 1 Remastered has reignited interest, and this anthology builds upon the artistry that defined the trilogy. Preorders are live at major retailers, and first-run copies will likely be sought after by collectors.
As a lifelong Metroid fan, I’m genuinely excited for this art book. With Metroid Prime 1 Remastered out, this art book feels like momentum for the series’ next chapter.
Release timing, depth, and quality make one wonder if Nintendo is hinting at something bigger. Hope this signals a Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and 3: Corruption bundle before Metroid Prime 4 on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Metroid Prime 1-3 A Visual Retrospective launches October 28 at major retailers. You can also get a digital preview from Piggyback here.
