It looks like Samus Aran has once again suited up for a new mission! During yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, we got the release date for Metroid Dread, the latest title in the Metroid series where Nintendo is bringing the gameplay back to the genre that was named after the series; Metroidvania. Anticipating players can pre-order now, but the game will be officially available on October 8th.

Get ready to suit up as the intergalactic bounty hunter once again and prepare to battle your way out from the depths of a mysterious alien world plagued by a mechanical menace on one of her most dangerous missions yet. Stranded on Planet ZDR, when the E.M.M.I. are approaching, you’ll be left with only one option: Survive!
