Join bounty hunter Samus Aran as she flees a lethally contaminated world infested with aliens and threatened by new mechanical dangers in Metroid Dread for Nintendo Switch.

Samus’s story continues after the events of Metroid Fusion. After descending to the planet ZDR, she sets out to investigate a mysterious signal sent to the Galactic Federation. This distant planet has been overrun by hostile alien lifeforms and further mechanical threats. Samus is more agile and capable than ever—but will it be enough to overcome an inhuman menace as she explores the depths of planet ZDR?

Once research machines designed for DNA extraction, the E.M.M.I. robots are now hunting Samus. Evade their deadly attacks and strike back with a fatal blow. Discover what turned these robotic marvels into the terror of planet ZDR—and save your own life.

With new moves and abilities, Samus grows stronger and stronger

Add new and returning abilities to your arsenal and traverse many environments in this dangerous world. Leap over obstacles, slip through tight spaces, battle enemies, and find a way off the planet.
