Metroid Prime 4 has finally arrived after more than ten years of anticipation. The good news is that it compares well with the earlier games in the series in many ways. There’s a large amount of content to enjoy, but the game’s length is still manageable.
Here’s an overview of how Metroid Prime 4 stacks up against the previous titles and what rewards you can expect after finishing it.
How Long Is Each Metroid Prime Game?
In this list, we’ve used data from HowLongToBeat for the first three games and our own experience with Metroid Prime 4.
- Metroid Prime – about 14 hours
- Metroid Prime 2: Echoes – roughly 16.5 hours
- Metroid Prime 3: Corruption – around 13 hours
- Metroid Prime 4 – approximately 13 hours
How Long Is Metroid Prime 4?
We completed Metroid Prime 4 in about 13 hours. By then, we had found around 66% of the items and were on track to reach 100% completion. The game is compact and the central hub area is well-designed, so you’ll naturally pick up many items along the way.
On average, it takes about 15 to 20 hours to fully complete Metroid Prime 4, depending on how long you spend on boss fights and puzzles.
What Do You Unlock After Beating Metroid Prime 4?
Once you finish the game in normal mode—the highest mode available at the start—you unlock hard mode, along with new soundtrack tracks to listen to while exploring the world. The hard mode isn’t just tougher enemies; overall combat difficulty is increased, and save stations will only restore your energy.
To play on hard mode, you need to beat the game at least once. Afterward, you can start a new save file and take on the game’s more challenging version.
