New Metroid Dread Trailer Unveiled, More Info Arriving August 27th

Nin­ten­do released a new trail­er for Metroid Dread, right along­side Metroid Dread Report Vol. 5, which details what abil­i­ties Samus will have in the upcom­ing game. It also teased anoth­er report and trail­er are on the way.

“[The next report will shed] light on new mys­ter­ies revealed in an upcom­ing game trail­er,” Nin­ten­do descrip­tion reads on YouTube. “Please look for­ward to it on August 27.”

The lat­est trail­er shows Samus fly­ing towards her next mis­sion, learn­ing she’s being sent as a back­up solu­tion for the last of the X parasites–the antag­o­nist of the game. There is also a bit of a sur­prise in this video, giv­ing us some voice act­ing. This isn’t typ­i­cal, since the Metroid series usu­al­ly relies on writ­ten text.

Samus is also got a new out­fit, her Varia suit being replaced for a light blue one she’s be in for the who journey.

Nin­ten­do revealed this new blue suit was actu­al­ly the one Samus wore in Metroid Fus­tion. “In Metroid Dread, Samus’s suit appears to have changed quite a bit from her pre­vi­ous mis­sions,” Nin­ten­do writes. “This is the result of the organ­ic suit from Metroid Fusion–which was great­ly trans­formed fol­low­ing the attack by the X par­a­sitic life­form and the injec­tion of the Metroid vaccine–gradually return­ing to its orig­i­nal, mechan­i­cal Pow­er Suit form.”
