Metroid Dread is a landmark action-adventure game developed by MercurySteam and Nintendo and published by Nintendo exclusively for Nintendo Switch — the long-awaited fifth chapter in the 2D Metroid saga and the conclusion of the Metroid story arc that began with the original game. Samus Aran is sent to the mysterious planet ZDR to investigate a transmission, only to find herself hunted by the near-invincible E.M.M.I. robots in a dark and terrifying alien world. With fluid, precise controls, a deeply interconnected world to explore, and some of the most intense and rewarding gameplay in the series' history, Metroid Dread is a masterpiece of the Metroidvania genre.
Hunted by the E.M.M.I.
Metroid Dread's defining new mechanic is the E.M.M.I. — seven near-indestructible robotic hunters that patrol designated zones of planet ZDR, each with unique abilities and behaviors. When an E.M.M.I. detects Samus, a terrifying pursuit begins — you must use every tool at your disposal to evade capture, as a single grab means instant death. The E.M.M.I. zones create an atmosphere of genuine dread and tension that is unlike anything previously seen in the Metroid series, punctuating the exploration with heart-pounding sequences of survival horror.
Fluid, Precise Metroidvania Exploration
Beyond the E.M.M.I. zones, Metroid Dread delivers the finest 2D Metroid gameplay ever created — exploring the vast, interconnected world of ZDR, acquiring new abilities that open previously inaccessible areas, and gradually becoming the most powerful bounty hunter in the galaxy. Samus's move set is the most expansive and fluid in series history — featuring the Phantom Cloak stealth ability, the Slide, the Melee Counter, and a full arsenal of beam weapons, missiles, and bombs that combine into devastating combat options.
The Conclusion of the Metroid Story Arc
Metroid Dread concludes the narrative arc that began with the original Metroid — resolving the story of Samus, the Metroids, and the X Parasites in a dramatic and satisfying finale that rewards longtime fans of the series. The game's story is told through stunning cutscenes and environmental storytelling that set a new standard for narrative presentation in the Metroid franchise.
