Kensuke Tanabe, producer of the Metroid Prime series, has expressed his enthusiasm for a potential remake of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. In his upcoming book, "Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective," he reflects on the original game's local multiplayer mode and hopes more players will enjoy it in a remade version. With Metroid Prime 4 set to release on December 4, 2023, fans anticipate remakes of the earlier titles, especially since the availability of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is currently restricted to legacy consoles. Gamers are eager to see if Nintendo will include these classic titles in their online offerings or consider a comprehensive remaster of the entire trilogy.

Will Metroid Prime 2: Echoes get a remake?

While there is no official confirmation of a Metroid Prime 2: Echoes remake, producer Kensuke Tanabe has shown interest in the possibility, especially as the game’s multiplayer mode hasn’t been widely experienced by players. Given the upcoming release of Metroid Prime 4, it's plausible Nintendo may consider remakes or remasters to build momentum.

The Metroid Prime series revolutionized the first-person adventure genre when it debuted on the GameCube in 2002, with its mix of exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat. The recent success of Metroid Prime Remastered for the Nintendo Switch highlights the enduring appeal of these classic games, making fans hopeful for further remakes. The first three games have laid a strong foundation for the franchise, and a new entry in the series continues to attract attention.
