Samus's New Suit in 'Metroid Dread' Is a Connection to Previous 'Metroid' Titles

In the trailers for 'Metroid Dread,' Samus is wearing a suit that appears vastly different than ones she's previously donned in 'Metroid' video games.

It's taken greater than 3 decades, but Metroid fanatics are about to reach the belief of the story arc set out in the unique 1986 name. Metroid Dread will in any case hit the Nintendo Switch on Oct. 8 (the same day the Nintendo Switch OLED style is released), concluding the original arc and giving an opportunity for the story to take an entirely new path going forward.

While the game is the primary 2D Metroid sport in 19 years, Nintendo is throwing gamers for a loop already by way of introducing some new and thrilling adjustments to our protagonist.

The trailer showcases what appears to be like to be a new suit for Samus, though this new hardware wasn't explained in the trailer. Why does Samus glance different in this new sport? It's if truth be told crucial piece of continuity for the franchise.

Why does Samus glance other in 'Metroid Dread'?

The opening of the Metroid Dread trailer presentations our protagonist in an orange suit as she flies to Planet ZDR, the environment of our new title, but earlier than the last scene, she's at the flooring in a slick new blue suit that isn't known via gamers.

While there are various iterations of Samus's suit in the franchise, with it often changing colors as new upgrades are implemented, this blue color is now not one she's donned earlier than on a project.

But the rationale for this alteration is actually actually easy and lies in the continuity between Metroid Fusion and Metroid Dread.

For those who do not consider, Metroid Dread is intended to be the fifth and final installment in the current arc longtime Metroid avid gamers have been attempting to complete, however the occasions of this sport are immediately preceded by means of Metroid Fusion, which was launched in 2002.

At the start of Metroid Fusion, Samus receives the organic Fusion Suit, even though she is almost killed by an assault from the X parasites. This new colored suit is actually supposedly the result of the organic Fusion Suit returning to its original shape.

"In Metroid Dread, Samus's suit appears to have changed quite a bit from her previous missions. 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," Nintendo wrote in "Metroid Dread Report Vol. 3."

In previous video games, the Power Suit has 3 distinct colors to point out the other upgrades; in Metroid Fusion, the suit starts as a blue color as a substitute of a yellow, earlier than being upgraded to orange, after which a yellow and mauve design.

All of the previous Metroid video games begin with Samus shedding the upgrades to her suit, forcing the player to work to earn them again as the story progresses. It's conceivable that in this trailer, we're just seeing the hole colour of her new suit.

Fans can play Metroid Dread when it releases solely for the Nintendo Switch on Oct. 8.
