Nintendo and Retro Studios are collaborating with Piggyback to release a stunning Metroid Prime art book, set to launch Summer 2025. This exciting partnership offers a comprehensive behind-the-scenes look at the development of the acclaimed Metroid Prime series.

A Visual Retrospective of Metroid Prime 1-3

This collector's item, Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective, will showcase a wealth of artwork, including drawings, sketches, and concept illustrations from all four games in the series (including the recent Metroid Prime Remastered). But it's more than just a beautiful collection of images; the book provides valuable context and insights into the creative process behind the games.

Beyond the impressive artwork, the book includes:

• A foreword by Kensuke Tanabe, producer of Metroid Prime.
• Game-specific introductions penned by Retro Studios.
• Developer anecdotes, commentary, and insights on the artwork.
• High-quality, stitch-bound art paper with a cloth hardcover featuring a metallic foil Samus etching.
• Available in a single (hardcover) edition.

With 212 pages of captivating content, fans will gain exclusive knowledge of the development journey of these four iconic titles. The art book is priced at £39.99 / €44.99 / A$74.95 and is available for pre-order on Piggyback's website.

Piggyback's Proven Track Record with Nintendo

This isn't Piggyback's first collaboration with Nintendo. The publisher previously produced official strategy guides for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, renowned for their comprehensive coverage and high-quality presentation. These guides provided players with detailed information, from Korok seed locations to weapon and armor specifications, even encompassing DLC content.

Piggyback's experience in creating visually stunning and informative guides for the Zelda franchise promises a similarly high-quality experience for the upcoming Metroid Prime art book.
