The new Dread Report has dropped and it’s all about the Chozo species and their involvement in this new Chapter of Metroid. While brief, it definitely leaves us with more questions than answers. October 8th feels so far! Vol.7 of the Dread Report ends with a tease of the next volume, planet ZDR!

This is a big ‘un, lasting nearly 5 minutes long. Nintendo’s really pulling out all the stops this time around.
A new, fantastic interview with the lead designer of the Metroid Prime Trilogy, Mike Wikan, has been released by Australian tech podcaster, Kiwi Talks. The interview is pretty detailed, and Mike talks about the intricacies of the game’s history, talks about game design and working in development, as well as sheds some details into his personal life. It’s definitely worth a watch/listen for all Prime fans.
Here’s some art of the Chozo warriors taken from the Japanese Dread site, which is obviously way more well made and better looking than anything us lowly Americans get. (Once again if you decide to go, there are HUGE spoilers!)
A few have speculated that these may be Torizo and not living, breathing Chozo, but take a look at their hands and feet – those are very organic looking. I believe they are indeed living Chozo that Samus must battle in the game!
The good news first. Metroid Dread Report Vol. 6 has released today and HOOOO BOY it is more mind-blowing and spoilery than ANYTHING they’ve released thus far. If this doesn’t get you excited for Dread, nothing will.
Ready? Watch this absolutely mind-blowing trailer, which includes an old, familiar face:

And now, the bad news.
We’ve gotten word that Prime 2D, the Metroid Prime-inspired 2D remake, has been canceled and is no longer available for download, along with the soundtrack. Here’s the final words from Troid92, the game’s director, which was posted on Reddit and is now deleted:
This comes as no surprise, seeing how Nintendo treated AM2R, and while we are deeply saddened and disappointed, let’s hope the team goes on to create something amazing. Prime 2D’s engine, graphics and sound, and design is proof that there was a lot of talent behind this fangame. I wish the whole team the best of luck on their future endeavors.
That’s right folks, we’ve just released some new merch for our store, found over at https://metroiddatabase.storenvy.com.
There’s 10 in all. Each sticker was made with loving care and is waterproof, and able to be used indoors or outdoors. Two of them are sweet holographic ones, inspired by the upcoming Metroid Dread. If these are popular enough, we will definitely be having more made.
Pick up a set today, and as always, thank you for your continued support of our website!
Well what are you waiting for? GO GRAB ‘EM!
(Stickers were designed by @spotartstation.)
Psst… I may have found a secret.
Another Metroid Dread Report was released today! In it includes a breakdown of Samus’s abilities which we’ve all come to know and love, as well as a new trailer (embedded below) which seems to be an exerpt of the game’s intro sequence. Nintendo is also promising a new trailer in the next report, due out on August 27th!
HYPE.

Potential spoilers if you are trying to go in dark! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Hello everyone, I have been making Metroid videos for some time now, and am extremely honored to be able to share some of my work on this great site.
I hope that I can entertain you all in the future with some videos about our favorite series! Thanks for watching.

Our favorite LEGO Ideas creator, L-DI-EGO, is at it again, this time with a Metroid Dread themed playset titled, “METROID DREAD: E.M.M.I. CHASE”
From the LEGO Ideas page:
Can you help Samus use the Speed Booster and the Shinespark so she can reach the final goal of 10,000 supporters in record time?
Support the project so they can achieve their newest mission accomplished at 100%
You can also check out L-DI-EGO’s Flickr acount for more HD images of this and other awesome LEGO projects of his.
Just mentioning that I added a slideshow of the Chozo Memories. The most recent update to the Dread website (Vol 4) offered super clean, HD images of four Chozo Memories from Samus Returns (1, 5, 6, and 9). The rest, unfortunately, have not been made available to us through normal promotional materials. Thus, they were screenshotted from an emulator and then upscaled and cleaned in Photoshop. The art isn’t as good as I’d like it but it’s better than nothing. Go check out our Chozo Memories slideshow here.
(P.S. if the URL above doesn’t work, go to the Metroid Samus Returns section from the primary menu above, then go to Media > Chozo Memories)
