Home > Metroid Dread Revealed During E3 Presentation
Metroid Dread was revealed earlier today during Nintendo's E3 Direct as the next installment in the Metroid franchise. This game follows Samus as she explores and fights to unravel the secrets of a mysterious group of robots following her every move.
Several old features will return to this game from Metroid: Samus Returns, including the ability to block and parry enemy attacks. There will also be many new upgrades and abilities, including the ability to slide under the terrain and through small gaps.
The most striking new feature revealed, however, was the addition of stealth sequences that are patrolled by robots that can hear and see Samus. Using your wits will allow you to outsmart these robots, who are otherwise completely immune to Samus's attacks.
Metroid Dread will be released on October 8th, 2021 for the Nintendo Switch. For more information, check out the trailer below.
