Nintendo and Piggyback have teamed up for a 212 page art book providing a deeper look at the art and development of the Metroid Prime trilogy.
Titled, “Metroid Prime 1-3 A Visual Retrospective,” it’s scheduled for Summer 2025, but pre-orders have not been made available yet.
It’s a stitch-bound hardcover book and comes in at $49.99.
In addition to art, it’ll feature a foreword from Metroid Prime producer Kensuke Tanabe, developer interviews, sketches, and more.
Earlier this year, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond was revealed with a 2025 release window. It’s possible that the launch of the latest Metroid Prime game could conincde with the release of this art book, but nothing has been confirmed so far.
Here’s an overview of the book, courtesy of Piggyback:
