Today, during the Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that a Metroid Dread would be getting two free new game modes added to it. The first is called Dread Mode, where players lose immediately if they even get hit once. On the other side of the spectrum, Rookie Mode is a much more forgiving mode that is designed for newer players of the series.

Both of these modes will be added to the game for free later today. Additionally, a Boss Rush mode is also going to be launching in April 2022, allowing players to speedrun the boss fights of Metroid Dread.
