Metroid Dread is an action-adventure game developed by MercurySteam and Nintendo EPD, released on October 8, 2021, for the Nintendo Switch. Dread was conceived as a Nintendo DS game in the mid-2000s, but was canceled due to technical limitations. Industry commentators expressed interest in a new 2D Metroid game, and listed Dread in their "most wanted" lists. After their work on Metroid: Samus Returns in 2017, Metroid producer Yoshio Sakamoto appointed MercurySteam to develop Dread, the first original side-scrolling Metroid game since Metroid Fusion in 2002.
Dread is an action-adventure game in which players control bounty hunter Samus Aran as she explores the planet ZDR. It retains the side-scrolling gameplay of previous Metroid games, alongside the free aim and melee attacks added in Samus Returns. Samus can also slide and cling to blue surfaces.
The Galactic Federation receives video evidence that the X, a dangerous species of parasite that can mimic any creature it infects, still exist on the remote planet of ZDR. They dispatch research robots called E.M.M.I. to ZDR to investigate, but lose contact with them shortly after. The Federation then sends Samus Aran to ZDR to investigate. Upon arriving at ZDR, Samus encounters a Chozo warrior who defeats her in combat and strips her of most of her abilities. After waking up, Samus is instructed by her ship's computer, Adam, to escape to the surface of ZDR and return to her ship. While exploring ZDR, Samus is attacked by one of the E.M.M.I. robots, which have been hacked and are now hostile. She escapes and discovers one of the planet's central units, from which she absorbs a mysterious energy that allows her to temporarily gain the ability to destroy the E.M.M.I. and regain some of her abilities in the process.
Dread adds stealth elements, with Samus avoiding the almost indestructible EMMI robots by hiding, reducing her noise, and using the Phantom Cloak, camouflage that reduces her noise but slows her movement. If an EMMI robot catches Samus, the player has two extremely brief chances to perform melee counters and escape. If they fail, Samus is killed and the player faces a game over, emphasizing the need to avoid detection.
