Nintendo used its June 2026 Direct to narrow the wait for two of its biggest upcoming games. The company confirmed that a new The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom sequel and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond are both scheduled to arrive in 2027.

The announcement gives fans a clearer timeline after years of anticipation around both franchises. While Nintendo did not share full launch details in the presentation, the confirmation of release timing marks a significant update for players watching the company’s major first-party lineup.

The Zelda series remains one of Nintendo’s most important properties, and a sequel to Echoes of Wisdom signals continued investment in the franchise’s modern direction. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, meanwhile, has been one of the most closely followed projects in Nintendo’s pipeline, drawing sustained interest from longtime fans.

With both titles now aiming for 2027, Nintendo’s roadmap looks more defined heading into the next phase of its hardware and software cycle. More gameplay details and launch specifics are expected closer to release.
