Metroid Dread

Metroid Dread is a 2021 action-adventure game developed by MercurySteam and Nintendo EPD and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch on October 8, 2021. It is the ninth main Metroid game, and the first since Metroid: Other M (2010). It retains the side-scrolling gameplay of previous Metroid games and incorporates stealth elements. Players control the bounty hunter Samus Aran as she investigates the source of a mysterious transmission on the planet ZDR. The Metroid producer, Yoshio Sakamoto, conceived Dread for the Nintendo DS in the mid-2000s, but development ended due to technical limitations.
