Nintendo, Retro Studios, and Piggyback are joining forces to release a stunning Metroid Prime art book in Summer 2025. This exciting collaboration offers an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the development of the acclaimed Metroid Prime series.
Piggyback, renowned for its high-quality gaming guides, is partnering with Nintendo and Retro Studios to produce Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective. This art book promises a comprehensive journey through two decades of Metroid Prime game development.
According to Piggyback's website, the book will feature a wealth of "drawings, sketches, and assorted illustrations" from across the Metroid Prime series. But it's more than just a visual feast; it delves into the creative process behind Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and the recently remastered title.
Beyond the captivating artwork and developer sketches, the art book includes:
This 212-page masterpiece provides unparalleled insight into the creation of these four iconic games, revealing the inspirations and creative journey of the development team. The book is priced at £39.99 / €44.99 / A$74.95. While not yet available for purchase, keep an eye on Piggyback's website for updates.
This isn't Piggyback's first collaboration with Nintendo. The company previously produced official guides for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, providing comprehensive support to players exploring Hyrule. These guides covered everything from Korok seed locations to weapon and armor details, even including information on DLC content.
Piggyback's proven ability to deliver visually stunning and informative content, as seen in their work on Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, ensures that the upcoming Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective art book will be a must-have for fans.
