Nintendo released a brand new Metroid Dread trailer for the Switch with a promise of more to come. Along with the new trailer, the developer dropped a slew of information on Samus’ new abilities, weapons, and more.
The two-minute Metroid Dread trailer, originally dropped on Twitter, doesn’t show off any gameplay, but it does show off Samus’ new suit in a flurry of cinematics. It also highlighted what we know of the story so far. “Once DNA-extracting research machines, the imposing E.M.M.I. are now hunting Samus down. Tensions are high as you evade these E.M.M.I. to avoid a cruel death while finding a way to take them down. Find out what turned these robotic wonders into the scourge of ZDR and escape with your life.”

GameStop has a special edition preorder available for $89.99 that includes the physical game, a “haunting” steel game case, five high-quality art cards with key art for each 2D Metroid game, and a 190-page art book spanning all five entries in the 2D Metroid saga.
