Join bounty hunter Samus Aran on an adventure where she must escape a deadly alien world plagued by a mechanical threat in Metroid Dread for Nintendo Switch. The story of Samus continues after the events of Metroid Fusion. On the planet ZDR, she investigates a mysterious message transmitted to the Galactic Federation. However, this planet is also filled with malevolent alien life forms and, to make matters worse, poses a mechanical danger. Samus is more agile and skilled than ever, but can she face the horrors lurking in the depths of ZDR? Originally designed for DNA extraction, the research robots known as E.M.M.I. have evolved into powerful machines that hunt Samus. This leads to tense, high-stakes situations where Samus must evade them to avoid a gruesome fate and find a way to disable them. Discover what has made these robots such a menace and escape ZDR alive. Acquire familiar abilities as you explore the many areas of this perilous world. Overcome obstacles, slide or roll through tight corridors, counter enemy attacks, and fight your way across the planet. When you return to familiar areas, use the abilities you've gained to find upgrades, alternative paths, and the next step in your adventure. Explore the expansive map, evade the E.M.M.I. - or destroy them - and overcome the horrors of ZDR.
