Nintendo, Retro Studios, and Piggyback are joining forces to release a stunning Metroid Prime art book in Summer 2025. This exciting collaboration offers a behind-the-scenes look at the development of the acclaimed Metroid Prime series.
A Visual Retrospective of Metroid Prime's 20-Year Legacy
Celebrating Metroid Prime 1-3 (and Remastered!)
Nintendo and Piggyback, renowned for their high-quality game guides, have partnered to produce Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective. This art book, enriched by the expertise of Retro Studios, delves into two decades of Metroid Prime development.
Piggyback's website describes the book as a collection of "drawings, sketches, and assorted illustrations" from the entire Metroid Prime series, providing valuable context and insights into the creation of Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and the recently released Metroid Prime Remastered.
Beyond the captivating artwork, the book includes:
- A foreword by Kensuke Tanabe, producer of Metroid Prime.
- Game introductions penned by Retro Studios themselves.
- Producer anecdotes, commentary, and insightful perspectives on the art.
- Premium construction: stitch-bound, sheet-fed art paper with a cloth hardcover and metallic foil Samus etching.
- Available in a single hardcover edition.
This 212-page masterpiece offers exclusive glimpses into the development process and inspirations behind these four iconic games. Priced at £39.99 / €44.99 / A$74.95, the art book is currently unavailable for purchase but can be checked for availability on Piggyback's website.
A Proven Partnership
This collaboration isn't Piggyback's first with Nintendo. They previously produced official guides for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, lauded for their comprehensive coverage of Hyrule's secrets, collectibles, and quests. These guides even included detailed information on DLC content.
Piggyback's proven ability to create visually stunning and informative guides for major Nintendo titles promises a similarly high-quality experience for the Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective art book.
