Metroid Prime Artbook: A Nintendo x Piggyback CollaborationNintendo, 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 this iconic game series.

A Visual Retrospective of Metroid Prime

Celebrating 20 Years of Metroid Prime

This meticulously crafted art book, Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective, showcases the creative journey behind Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and Metroid Prime Remastered. Piggyback's website describes the book as a collection of "drawings, sketches, and assorted illustrations," providing more than just eye-catching visuals. It offers valuable context and insights into the game's development.

Metroid Prime Artbook: Developer Insights and Stunning ArtworkBeyond the breathtaking artwork and developer sketches, the book includes:

  • A foreword by Kensuke Tanabe, the producer of Metroid Prime.
  • Introductions to each game penned by Retro Studios.
  • Anecdotes, commentaries, and insights from the producers.
  • Premium materials: a stitch-bound, sheet-fed art paper with a cloth hardcover featuring a metallic foil Samus etching.
  • Available in a single hardcover edition.

With 212 pages of exclusive content, fans will gain an unparalleled understanding of the creative process behind these four groundbreaking games. The art book is priced at £39.99 / €44.99 / A$74.95 and is available for pre-order on Piggyback’s website.

A Legacy of Collaboration

Metroid Prime Artbook: Piggyback's Nintendo Collaboration HistoryThis isn't Piggyback's first collaboration with Nintendo. The company previously produced official strategy guides for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, renowned for their comprehensive coverage of Hyrule's secrets, including Korok seed locations and weapon/armor details. The Breath of the Wild guide even included DLC content.

Piggyback's proven ability to blend stunning visuals with detailed information, demonstrated in their Zelda guides, promises a similarly exceptional experience for fans of the Metroid Prime series with this new art book.
