A new Metroid Dread teaser includes some fan-pleasing hints at a long-standing mystery.
The short video, below, focuses on a side to Metroid Dread we’ve not seen before – away from its murderous EMMI robots which pursue Samus throughout much of the game.
Let’s watch, and discuss after:
Metroid fans will recognise the Chozo, the advanced avian race who raised Samus and created the Metroids themselves before apparently disappearing.
It looks like Metroid Dread will let Samus meet a Chozo in person, who will then provide flashbacks to a time when their race was still around in some numbers. Also, we see more of their Ancient Egyptian-like hieroglyphics. Very cool.
