About This Game

Face off against the relentless E.M.M.I. — once benign DNA-extracting research robots, now reprogrammed to hunt Samus across the dangerous planet ZDR. The tension never lets up as you slip past these stalkers to avoid a brutal death while searching for a way to bring them down and uncover what twisted these mechanical marvels into the scourge of ZDR. Along the way, Samus's power grows: parkour over obstacles, slide through tight gaps, counter your enemies, and acquire both new and familiar abilities as you traverse the planet's many environments — then backtrack to unlock upgrades, hidden paths, and a way forward as you escape with your life and overcome the dread plaguing ZDR.
