Everything You Need To Know About Sylux: The Villain of Metroid Prime 4 Beyond

[@PrimepediaYT]

Welp, turns out I was spot on! The trailer in today's direct CONFIRMS Sylux will be the villain in Prime 4! All the more reason to get reacquainted with his character, I'd say!

[@Otticon]

Came here after seeing the reveal to say what a based theory.

[@artisanjames182]

Yes you were sir.. good job! And Metroid Prime 4: BEYOND looks incredible!

[@icecreamorc]

Love all this stuff finally coming together, very excited.

[@VoidedMirror]

Crazy how the Prime team laid the groundwork for Sylux almost two decades ago.

[@jakekantor3465]

Was just about to comment this.

[@CH-mw6sp]

Im so proud of them for committing to the bit

[@TheAdmcad]

This aged well

[@XenoEnthusiast13]

No kidding! Aged like a fine wine.😂 so happy!!!

[@netweed09]

Well, We sort of all knew it was inevitable given the events at the end of Prime 3 and FF lol.

[@arc7375]

MP3 and FF _literally_ had Sylux onscreen pursuing Samus and seeking the Metroids. It was a secret to no-one.

[@Mr.Foxhat]

With Sylux confirmed for Prime 4, I hope that we see Weavel and Trace in either this game or future installments.

[@PrimepediaYT]

It’s definitely a possibility!

[@MichaelThomas-q3m]

I think those 2 will work for sylux and the space pirates as 2 of sylux space pirate commanders

[@Mr.Foxhat]

@@MichaelThomas-q3m I doubt Trace would work for him. Trace serves the Kriken Empire, a 3rd party from the Federation and Space Pirates. I think it would be cool if Sylux fought Weavel for control over the Space Pirates and that Weavel perhaps even temporarily joins Samus for a bit just to regain control.

[@dirkthewrench]

Kanden would also work pretty easily

[@kingbeef66]

Having Weavel and Kanden working with Sylux would be cool. Even though Trace is the fourth evil bounty hunter next to them in MP Hunters, I don’t think he would work well with others in an alliance since he and his species the Kriken Empire might be more vicious and imperialistic than even the Space Pirates.

[@natepruszinske5261]

Dude you nailed it! Today's Direct CONFIRMED!

Love how I played hunters on DS as a kid and knew who this reveal character was and I'm sure any fan who isn't in their 30s has no clue this is an old character

[@TachyBunker]

I was born in 2005 but i had played MPH as well as First Hunt on the DS, very young, along with Metroid Prime 3. Who knew it'd spark such a passion, I was kinda always blind for liking any other game except Minecraft, after experiencing the quality of the design.

That Metroid prime hunters theme still slaps to this very day

[@oerwhat]

Metroid Prime Hunters multiplayer was so fun

[@barbaraziviani9123]

I hope Sylux starts something like a rebellion against the galactic federation. Then, prime 4 could lead into a new trilogy, exploring this rebellion

[@PrimepediaYT]

I honestly think something like that is very likely! Maybe a rebellion isn’t the right word, but an assault on the Federation that lasts for several games feels like it has a pretty big chance. Dark Samus was a multi-game villain too after all

[@Scott...]

Can’t wait for them to expand upon it in Metroid Prime 5 in 2042

[@KrispyKorpse]

Yo the video timing honestly couldn't've been better lol, really hope this helps the channel grow

[@ElZamo92]

Hunters was such an underrated game. I played online on that a lot more than I did Halo or CoD back then

[@myleswelnetz6700]

I think even with her home planet destroyed, Dark Samus will be the final boss again as per tradition, and Sylux will just fill a similar role that Meta Ridley from the first game. I also hope we get to see Ridley and/or Kraid again too.

[@Duharshy]

prime 3 came out very near my birthday, so the wait between these games will be a literal lifetime for me.

[@mallow4460]

I love Sylux :) hope he comes for a future smash Bros

[@skeltaldelegate5408]

My theory for a while has been that Sylux was once the Federation's top hunter, much like Samus has become. He could be a "burned" GF operative either trying to get revenge on the Federation OR trying to replace Samus and earn back some prestige as the once greatest hunter. This is all theory but I'll stick to it. I have high suspicions when it comes to Sylux and GF's history.

[@AndrewWukusick]

[@RexSerpentum]

Sylux was my go to Hunter in Metroid Prime Hunters Multiplayer. His scream in the intro cutscene was just so primal.

[@Houndlock643]

Looking at the newest trailer for Prime 4, it seems like Sylux made Mochtroids from the original Metroid that he stole.

[@menaced.]

I feel like the only person who loved prime hunters, playing the pvp with my 4 brothers using ds download play was so fun especially, probably beat the campaign like 20 times but it wasnt that great bc the reused bosses, running into the other bounty hunters was cool tho, i really hope they show weavel trace and spire bc those were the most interesting 3 characters imo especially trace was super cool

[@dylanvscomics8138]

Didn't even realise this video was made before the direct. You nailed it with the timing.

[@JohnnyNocturne]

yo. good video. was here to learn more about this character. keep it up

[@PrimepediaYT]

Thanks!

[@FriendlyRedd]

Never got to play the DS/3DS Prime games, so this info is very much appreciated. Well done!

[@mackay700]

Would love to see him be playable in a future game. Playing as a bad bounty hunter would be quite a different take.

[@xJC4Rx]

And title.

[@Ando1428]

Well im still on the fence about whether hes a villain. Remember that this is running with the fact that there was a shadow cult in the galactic federation.

[@PrimeKokotoHunter]

It's great that Prime 4 actually delivered on promises made a long time ago.

[@EduardoLopez-tged]

Lets be real, we know this guy is going to go down after the introductory level so we can fight meta ultra ghost ridley. then find out that we need to blow the planet up to kill all the metroids.

[@thenoob_artist0586]

I think Sylux weaponry and suit. Think Galactic federation trying to copy Samus weaponry and Power Suit mechanics (Aka morphball technology) Biggest question is not Sylux origin. How Sylux can control and passive two larva metroids.

[@GoldScale57]

Kinda hoping that we get some kind of Hunters/Federation Force rerelease for Switch ahead of Prime 4's release. I never played the games myself but I was already primed to see him as the Prime 4 antagonist. Would be nice to have a chance at some firsthand context for him. Plus Hunters and Federation Force maybe getting another shot with online (even if it means getting NSO) seems cool to me.

[@alequeshow]

You predicted it man!

[@arc7375]

You can’t predict something that was blatantly stated twenty years ago. MP3 and FF _literally_ had Sylux onscreen pursuing Samus and seeking the Metroids.

[@OranG_01]

This aged like the finest wine

[@benjaminboswell508]

Sylax is Adam malchaviches brother, from other M. I’m going off the information from this video there is only one important character that should be of not in the entire Metroid series that is involved in the galactic federation that is male that has any importance and relationship with samus.

[@jangofett1172]

Welcome back Sylux!

[@砸门吹牛]

will (s)yluc(s) be some kind of (s)amu(s)‘ brother or share smiliar gene？their visor both green...

[@JohnathanLaFey]

I wonder if Sylux is Adam somehow? would be brutal if Samus had to take him out

[@OnBakePlatinum]

I have an unfounded theory that Sylux is actually the green hair Justin Bailey version of Samus

I'm gonna say this right now and I don't care who ot upsets because it's a fact If you call yourself a "Metroid Fan" and don't know who Sylux is then TO ME you're not a real metroid Fan

[@OhYuFine]

What if Sylux is just Adam but he didn’t die and somehow survived. Without the knowledge of his AI counterpart

[@PrimepediaYT]

Now that'd be a twist lmao

[@arc7375]

What a horrendous idea. Nearly as horrendous as the entirety of Other M

[@GBDupree]

But this game takes place before Adam's death, especially Hunters did. Maybe it could be his brother that died while Samus was still a soldier in the federation.

[@Gibs491]

Nintendo Avoids that game like the Plague So i wouldn't hold my breath
