In one of the trailers for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, there's an introduction to the Aurora Units that feature heavily in the game.

In 2005, rumors spread of a new side-scrolling Metroid game known as "Metroid Dread". The original version of this game never materialized, although it would be developed and released for the Nintendo Switch in 2021.

In the original version of Metroid Prime 3, Admiral Dane shouts, "Damn! They're targeting the planetary-defense system." The word "Damn" was replaced with "No" in the Metroid Prime Trilogy though, likely to remove a possible swear word from the game.
