The fifth main installment in the Metroid series starring Samus Aran. In Metroid Dread, the famous bounty hunter must face a whole new threat from both aliens and deadly E.M.M.I. robots.

Metroid Dread is the fifth installment of the main series under the Metroid brand and the sequel to Metroid Fusion. The game began life back in the early years of the 21st century, but the developers were forced to abandon the project due to technological limitations. Eventually, the game was created as the result of a collaboration between Nintendo and the Mercury Steam Entertainment, which previously helped with the development of Metroid: Samus Returns.

Plot

Metroid Dread continues the story of Samus Aran, a space bounty hunter with a long history with the dangerous (and formally extinct) Metroid race. The heroine travels to the planet ZDR, attracted by a mysterious transmission sent to the Galactic Federation. While there, she has to face not only dangerous life forms, but also merciless machines called E.M.M.I.
