While we're still waiting for Metroid Prime 4, we can always dwell in the nostalgia of the original trilogy. Metroid Prime Remastered was one way of doing so, another will come next year in the form on an artbook. This one gets published by Piggyback, the same company behind the guides for Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom (which I have yet to get).
Here's what they have to say about it:
Developed in collaboration with Nintendo and Retro Studios, this art book showcases concept drawings, sketches and assorted illustrations from the Metroid Prime series. With an extensive range of behind-the-scenes, high quality artwork, this hardcover anthology spans more than 20 years of Metroid Prime development and includes exclusive commentary from Nintendo producer, Kensuke Tanabe, as well as the esteemed Retro Studios. Printed on premium sheet-fed art paper, this book is stitch-bound with a lavish cloth hardcover featuring an etched Samus metallic foil.
It's also said to cover Metroid Prime Remastered, where it would be a shame if we were to get another remaster now, but it didn't make the cut for the artbook. Maybe Nintendo has really no plans to release more remasters at this point, or maybe they should have waited with this book...
There is also the chance that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will be released before this book, which is coming in June 2025, but that game may potentially qualify for an artbook of its own, similar to Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
In any case, I will get this, because I usually enjoy such artbooks quite a lot and I love the Metroid Prime series.
