Metroid Dread — is the fifth installment in the Metroid-branded mainstream series and a sequel to Metroid Fusion. The game originated in the early years of the 21st century, but the developers were forced to abandon the project due to technological limitations. After all, the game was created through a collaboration between Nintendo and Mercury Steam Entertainment, who previously helped develop Metroid Samus Returns. Metroid Dread continues the story of Samus Aran, a space bounty hunter with a long history with the dangerous and nominally extinct Metroid race. The heroine travels to the planet ZDR, attracted by a mysterious message sent to the Galactic Federation. While there, she will have to face not only dangerous life forms, but also ruthless machines called EMMI.
