Metroid Dread is already beating franchise sales records

Metroid Dread (or simply Dread) is a two-dimensional lateral scroll adventure video game of the Metroid series developed by Mercury Steam and edited by Nintendo, released on October 8, 2021 on Nintendo Switch. It is the fifth episode of the main Metroid series and the direct suite of fusion out on Game Boy Advance in 2002. The game is initially developed by Nintendo for an output on the Nintendo DS portable console. It is discovered for the first time in 2005 on an official internal list of games, written by Nintendo, and supposed to be revealed to the Electronic Entertainment Expo of 2005, or even in 2006. However, it is never revealed during these conventions, And is the only title of this list to never have been. The flagship designer of the Metroid series, Yoshio Sakamoto, questioned about the Metroid Dread project and its scenario, confirms in 2010 that it has existed at a certain time. He specifies that if the development of it had to be resumed, it would be started from scratch. At the E3 2021, Nintendo finally unveils the revival of the game for an output on Nintendo Switch. The development is entrusted to Mercurysteam, who had impressed Yoshio Sakamoto by his work on the remake metroid: Samus Returns released in 2017 on Nintendo 3DS.

Metroid Dread has not even come out for a full week in Nintendo Switch, but it seems that it could be the most successful entry in the history of long-term franchise. According to some initial sales data that has now been obtained in the United Kingdom, metroid DRead is already on the way to being a great achievement for Nintendo, which means that the series could end up returning more regularly in the future.

According to Gi.BIZ, metroid Dread was the third best-selling game in retail last week, which makes it the game of greater collection in the history of the Metroid series. Although MoreID Prime ended up selling more copies in general in its first week of launch in 2002, the disparity between it and metroid Dread was only about 1,000 copies. When taking into account the digital sales of metroid Dread, which are not added here, it is logical that the game has already exceeded the sales of the week one of metroid prime.

Although it is currently unknown as MERTO DREAD could be functioning in other regions of the world, this public sales information of the United Kingdom is often reflected in other markets. As such, there is a great chance that the game is quickly on the way to becoming the best-selling Metroid game in history. At present, metroid prime 3: corruption is the entry of the series that holds this record. However, given the high that the Nintendo Switch installation basis is, it seems quite likely that Nintendo will break the Metroid sales records in an official capacity in a short time.
