Free Metroid Dread Update Adds Brutal Dread Mode And Easier Rookie Mode

Have you vanquished Metroid Dread but are itching to push your skills to the limit? Are you frustrated by the difficulty of the game and would prefer something more relaxed? Nintendo Direct today revealed that the game received a free update that allows you to adjust the difficulty and chill levels of Samus’ ZDR adventure.

Dread Mode is the best option for hardcore gamers. This dastardly option makes it so that taking a single hit means instant death. Rookie Mode on the other side increases Samus’ health when picking up restorative products. You can get the update later today, with the updated demo. 

Nintendo also announced that a Boss Rush mode, where you can battle bosses continually one after another, will arrive via a second update sometime in April.
