Metroid Dread: Metroid Dread: Update brings hard boss rush modes

Metroid Dread (from 44.99€ at buy) for Nintendo Switch was already a challenge for some players when it was released, which is why a rookie mode was submitted in February. The new features of the just released update (version 2.1.0), on the other hand, are aimed in a completely different direction – once you have completed the story mode, you can look forward to a series of tough boss challenges.

A total of three boss rush modes have been added to the game:

boss rush
Activation condition: play through once
Content: 12 bossfights in a row, for a time, damage is carried over from one fight to the next, ammunition is replenished, deaths result in time penalties

Survival Rush
Unlock Condition: Beat Boss Rush or Dread Rush
Content: defeat as many bosses as possible in 5 minutes, damage is taken with you, immediate game over if you die, defeating bosses adds time

dread rush
Activation condition: Completed the main game in Dread mode
Content: Rules as in Boss Rush mode, but just one hit results in an immediate game over

Time to put your skills to the test again, bounty hunters. The new Boss Rush mode is available now in #MetroidDread!

Fight Samus’ most formidable foes one-after-another & go for the best time possible! The mode is available once you’ve completed the game.https://t.co/Lyb3rLjdVs pic.twitter.com/MP1NlUIgwO
