Following the recent release ofMetroid Dread, many fans have gone on to celebrate the game in a variety of different ways. With the return of the atmospheric, isolating tone that theMetroidseries is known for,Metroid Dreaddelivers a haunting experience that has left a strong impact on many in the gaming community. In fact, one fan has recently incorporated the game into their Halloween decorations.
Unlike many other Nintendo properties,Metroidis an unnerving experience for many, due its remote and inhospitable environments. While games likeThe Legend of Zelda: Majora’s MaskandTwilight Princessfeature a similar unsettling atmosphere, the worlds are always populated with friendly, approachable NPCs that keep players company during the game.Metroid Dreadin particular does a good job of making players feel helpless, due to the inclusion of the EMMIs, an enemy which one fan has featured as part of a Jack-O-Lantern.

A Reddit user named sionnachglas crafted a Jack-O-Lantern themed afterMetroid Dread. The Jack-O-Lantern features bothSamus and the EMMIs, the imposing, quadrupedal robots that stalk the player during various gameplay segments. It’s impressive to see the game celebrated in such an interesting form factor. Usually, fan art and cosplay are predominantly highlighted, but aMetroid Dreadthemed Jack-O-Lantern is certainly different.
The Reddit user certainly cultivated a unique way to celebrate the game. ThatMetroidDreadhas only been out for a few days and gained so much fan recognition is incredible. The fact that theMetroid Dreadhas already set a franchise sales recordafter releasing only three days ago is also quite the unprecedented achievement. Though, for many fans of theMetroidseries, one lingering question still remains.
Back in E3 2021, many fans were expecting to seeMetroid Prime 4shown off properly, only to seeMetroid Dreadunveiled.Metroid Prime 4was first announced back in 2017 and there has been little to no additional information released regarding the game’s development. While the return of 2DMetroidin the form ofMetroid Dreadis certainly a welcome experience for many, it has also left many fans to wonder when the return of 3DMetroidwill occur.
It will interesting to see what will ultimately become ofMetroid Prime 4. On the one hand, the lack of information regarding the game’s development is certainly vexing for a number of fans, but it could just be that Nintendo wants to wait until there’s enought substantial content to show. That was certainly the case forBayonetta 3and could just as easily be the case forMetroid Prime 4.
Metroid Dreadis available now for Nintendo Switch.
