Nintendo Releases New Trailer for Metroid Dread

The trailer shows Samus Aran, the franchise’s protagonist, facing off against a metroid that is constructed of void technology.

The game’s protagonist, the bounty hunter Samus Aran , starts the game on her last mission. She must get to the mysterious planet called B.O.M.B.A.T.S. before the alien race known as the Chozo does. As soon as she reaches this barren planet, she lands on a mountainous mountainous location, with an eerie-looking forest, that houses the ruins of an ancient civilization. Samus makes her way into the forest, but she is ambushed by a group of spider-like creatures. She fights them off, but they are too many, and she is overwhelmed. She is on the verge of defeat when her armor is damaged, leaving

Nintendo has published a second teaser for Metroid Dread, the eagerly anticipated Metroid game. Metroid Dread is notable for two reasons: 1) it’s a Metroid game, and 2) it was originally planned for the Nintendo DS almost a decade ago.

While that version was shelved, Metroid Dread will return later this year on the far more powerful Nintendo Switch when it launches in the autumn. The game is a throwback to the traditional 2D Metroid gameplay popularized by games like Super Metroid, but with 3D visuals that bring Samus to life.

The latest video for Metroid Dread shows the heroine arriving on Planet ZDR, the game’s primary locale. It also teases some of Samus’ formidable foes, which seem to include the Chozo—the bird-like species popularized by the power-up statues that have featured in Metroid since the original game. Samus’ new and returning skills, such as Flash Shift (a quick sprint move) and the Grapple Beam for swinging over gaps, are also shown.

On October 8, 2021, Metroid Dread will be published only for the Nintendo Switch. Retro Studios’ Metroid Prime 4 will likely follow, although there’s no word on when that will be released. (Metroid Prime 4 was revealed during the 2017 E3 conference, but it was put on hold until January 2019.)

A strange transmission transports bounty hunter Samus Aran to planet ZDR, where she discovers the world has been overtaken by violent alien lifeforms and homicidal robots known as E.M.M.I.

In Samus’ most dramatic adventure yet—and the long-awaited second chapter in the 2D Metroid saga—hunt and be hunted as you make your way across a dangerous planet.
