Metroid Dread: Difference between revisions

''Metroid Dread'' retells the story of the 2D ''Metroid'' games leading up to it, ending with ''Metroid Fusion''. Now, Samus is dispatched to investigate by a currently unknown party and travels to [[ZDR]]. As the only being in the universe with immunity against the X Parasites, Samus seeks to uncover whether they truly still exist. Soon after arriving on ZDR, Samus encounters a hostile, living Chozo (who previously appeared in the Chozo Memories of ''Metroid: Samus Returns''), who attacks her and steals her abilities. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_XnbTayTH4</ref> As Samus wakes up and explores the planet in search of a way back to her ship, Samus encounters the E.M.M.I. robots which were built by the [[Galactic Federation]], have gone rogue and now seek to kill her. <ref name=Treehouse>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys_GegPKDvk  Metroid Dread - Nintendo Treehouse: Live | E3 2021 - Part 1]</ref> As she makes her way through the planet, she encounters a second Chozo, who introduces himself as [[Quiet Robe]] of the Thoha tribe. He reveals that the Chozo who attacked Samus is [[Raven Beak]], the leader of the Mawkin tribe. Raven Beak had murdered the Thoha of SR388 when he learned that they planned to destroy the planet in the hopes of eliminating the Metroids, as he sought to use them as a weapon to conquer the galaxy; Quiet Robe was the sole survivor, as only the Thoha could control the Metroids. His original goal was to bring the Metroids to ZDR, but the presence of an X among his soldiers and Samus' eradication of the Metroids forced him to change his plans- he had the E.M.M.I. units reprogrammed to hunt Samus and extract her Metroid DNA, which would allow him to clone an army of Metroids.

The computerized [[Adam Malkovich]] returns in this game as a provider of lore and story-related information. Samus is able to interface with him via Communication Rooms and get advice on her current situation.
