Nintendo and Piggyback Unite for Metroid Prime Artbook

Nintendo and Retro Studios are collaborating with Piggyback to release a stunning Metroid Prime art book in Summer 2025. This exciting partnership offers a comprehensive retrospective of the series' 20-year history.

A Visual Journey Through the Metroid Prime Trilogy

The Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective art book showcases a wealth of concept art, sketches, and illustrations from the entire Metroid Prime series (covering the original trilogy and the recent remaster). But it's more than just a beautiful collection; it delves into the creative process, providing context and insight into the development of Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and Metroid Prime Remastered.

Beyond the exquisite artwork, the book includes:

• A foreword by Kensuke Tanabe, the producer of Metroid Prime.
• Introductory essays from Retro Studios on each game.
• Developer anecdotes and commentary on the art.
• High-quality, stitch-bound art paper with a cloth hardcover featuring a metallic foil Samus.
• Available as a single hardcover edition.

With 212 pages of exclusive content, fans will gain unparalleled insight into the creation of these iconic games. The art book is priced at £39.99 / €44.99 / A$74.95 and will be available for purchase on Piggyback's website at a later date.

Piggyback's Proven Track Record with Nintendo

This isn't Piggyback's first collaboration with Nintendo. The publisher previously produced acclaimed official guides for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, known for their comprehensive coverage and high-quality presentation. These guides meticulously documented every aspect of the games, from Korok seed locations to weapon details and DLC content. This experience promises a similarly high-quality and detailed approach to the Metroid Prime art book.
