Free Metroid Dread Update Adds Brutal Dread Mode and Easier Rookie Mode
Ever beat Metroid Dread but still want to push your skills to the limit? On the contrary, do you find the game too difficult and want a more comfortable experience? Nintendo Direct today revealed that the game has a free update on how to add modes to make Samus’ adventures on the ZDR as difficult or as cold as you like.
For professional players, there is a Dread Mode. This bad option makes it so that a single hit means instant death. Rookie Mode, on the other hand, increases the amount of health Samus’ replenishes when picking up recovery items. The update goes live today (with a free demo updated to include it), so you can get it early if Dread is kicking your ass or keeping you from breaking a sweat.
Nintendo has also announced that the Boss Rush mode, where you battle bosses continuously, will be available via a second update sometime in April.
