Metroid 5 or Dread is the first new Metroid game in the series in almost 20 years, not including remakes and spinoffs. Picking up after the events of Metroid Fusion, Samus Aran, a highly-skilled bounty hunter, heads to Planet ZDR after the Galactic Federation receives a cryptic transmission that indicates that parasite X may be present. There, Samas meets a new and terrifying foe, extremely deadly robots known as E.M.M.I’s that are on the hunt for Samus and will stop at nothing in their pursuit. Metroid fans will finally be able to experience the conclusion to the story started in the original NES Metroid in this 2-D side-scrolling shooter adventure coming on Oct 8th.
The third Guardians of the Galaxy movie isn’t set to release for almost another two years, but Eidos is hoping to fill the galaxy-sized void with Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy – the game. This game takes inspiration from both the comics and movies and will feature an original story starring our favorite group of misfits trying to save the universe. This will also be a single-player narrative-driven experience where you take on the role of Star Lord and lead the rest of the guardians. Featuring in-depth combat, zipping around as Peter Quill, and setting up commands and team attacks with Gamora, Drax, Groot, and Rocket. Save the galaxy to a rocking 80’s soundtrack on Oct 26th.
