Metroid Dread announced, a new 2D Metroid game for the Switch

At the E3 2021 Nintendo Direct, Nintendo has revealed Metroid Dread, the first new 2D Metroid game in 19 years!

Check out the new trailer for the game here:

While Metroid fans have been waiting for a new Metroid Prime game, Dread is more of an old-school 2D title in the vein of the older Metroid games. Still, this is great news for fans of the series, especially as it’s been a while since we saw a full Metroid release. And based on the snippets of gameplay that Nintendo showed, this game has a lot of promise, especially for long-time fans of the series.

Metroid Dread will release exclusively on the Nintendo Switch on October 8, 2021.
