The Metroid Dread release date is just around the corner, and with the new trailer from the latest Nintendo Direct, fans will surely be even more excited to step back into the shoes of series protagonist Samus Aran.
Metroid Dread Release Date: October 8, 2021
The official Nintendo Switch Page for the game sets up the game's premise:
“Video footage from an unknown source indicates that the deadly X parasite—thought to have been eradicated—may still live.
As a return to the series' roots – being the first 2D Metroid game since 2002's Metroid Fusion – the game is certainly one of the most awaited Nintendo Switch exclusives. Metroid Dread was originally conceived as a game for the Nintendo DS way back in the mid-2000s, so it's been a long time coming for this title. Fans of the genre will be able to get Metroid Dread in their hands next month, on October 8, 2021, when it finally hits its release date.
