It looks to be a treasure trove for fans, featuring an extensive collection of concept art, sketches, and illustrations from Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and Metroid Prime Remastered.

Earlier this year, Nintendo revealed Metroid Prime 4: Beyond with a 2025 release window. While no direct connection has been announced, the timing of the art book's launch on July 31, 2025, could coincide with the highly anticipated release of the next installment in the series, and potentially even the Switch 2.
