19 years. This is how long it's been since we saw an original 2D Metroid game release following Metroid Fusion on the Game Boy Advance. But, before 2021 ends, we're going to get a new 2D Metroid title that apparently will serve as a sequel to Fusion.
At the moment, we don't have a lot of information about Dread (or Metroid 5, if that's what you want to call it).
But here's everything that we know of Dread that's been confirmed, as well as everything else that's been leaked and rumored, and things that we wish would be announced soon.
Is There a Metroid Dread Trailer?
If you haven't already watched the Metroid Dread trailer, we recommend that you do it right now. It's the only source of credible information available about Metroid Dread so far. Be sure to check it out above.
From what we can tell in the trailer, it looks like the galaxy's finest bounty hunter, Samus Race, is going to face off against the E.M.M.I. However, before we can find out more about the upcoming robot antagonists, the trailer switches to show audiences different sections of the gameplay in action.
It certainly looks like Samus will be jumping, running, and shooting her way through all sorts of challenging obstacles with her signature Morph Ball transformation still looking as glorious as it did decades ago. When Is the Metroid Dread Release Date? Metroid Dread is scheduled for an October 2021 release date.
