A free update is now available for Metroid Dread, adds “Rookie” and “Dread” difficulty modes, Boss Rush mode announced for April

Nintendo and Mercury Steam have announced a free update for Metroid Dread, introducing two new difficulty modes. Playing through the game in “Dread Mode” is surely to be a challenge, as getting hit by an enemy even once will result in a game over. The addition of “Rookie Mode” will be helpful to new players of the Metroid series, as it will provide increased recovery. A second free update for Metroid Dread has also been confirmed to be released in April 2022, and will include a Boss Rush mode.
