Metroid Dread Update Adds Two New Game Modes, Another Coming in April
Today’s Nintendo Direct was filled with surprises like the announcement of Mario Strikers: Battle League, Wii Sports’ reincarnation as Nintendo Switch Sports, the announcement ofXenoblade Chronicles 3, the announcement of new Mario Kart 8 DLC, and far more. Perhaps one update that wasn’t on anyone’s prediction list includes a new update for Metroid Dread.
During the Direct, it was confirmed that Metroid Dread would receive an update later today that adds two new game modes, as well as a new game mode in April.
The two modes added today, February 9, include the Rookie Mode and the Dread Mode. They are self-explanatory, but the first mode makes Metroid Dread easier. Fans will be able to complete the game without as much difficulty as before, but for those who want an even greater challenge, Nintendo is providing that too. Dread Mode means any single hit will see a Game Over screen for Samus, really pushing a player’s skill level.
Then, in April, players will be able to check out the new Boss Rush mode. This will allow players to fight the various bosses of Metroid Dread one-vs-one back-to-back, adding even more replayability to the title.
Metroid Dread is available on Nintendo Switch.
