Metroid Prime 4: Beyond may soon get a release date — the game has officially been rated in Brazil. The country's Ministry of Justice and Public Security published an analysis dated September 5, 2025, giving the project a 14+ rating due to violence.
Key factors included violent acts, combat scenes with weapons, and moments of death, which determined the 14+ age threshold. Other elements, such as blood and corpses, are noted but rare. The analysis emphasized that the graphic content is mitigated by the science fiction setting.
The events reinforce rumors of a Nintendo Direct. The show is reportedly taking place on September 12, 2025. Several insiders claim that the presentation will bring major announcements, and the recent rating in Brazil hints that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond may finally get a release date.
The presentation is expected the day before Mario's 40th anniversary, and fans are hoping that Nintendo will showcase both Metroid and celebrate its most famous mascot. The outcome is still unknown, but the rating in Brazil indicates that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is preparing to take the stage.
