Overview
Not long after her victory over the Space Pirates on the planet Zebes, bounty hunter Samus Aran intercepts a distress signal from the derelict Space Pirate frigate Orpheon, whose crew has been slaughtered by their own genetically engineered experiments. After battling through the ship and narrowly escaping its destruction, she pursues a cybernetic incarnation of her old foe Ridley down to the nearby planet Tallon IV. There, Samus discovers the ruins of the Chozo, an ancient race wiped out decades earlier when a meteor struck the world and spread a corrupting, mutagenic substance called Phazon. As the Space Pirates work to harvest this dangerous resource for themselves, Samus explores Tallon IV's varied and hostile regions, piecing together the fate of the Chozo and the growing threat the Phazon poses.
Get behind the visor of intergalactic bounty hunter Samus Aran in her critically-acclaimed first-person adventure. Step into the boots of Samus Aran as you navigate the winding paths and interconnected environments of an alluring-yet-dangerous alien planet. Use powers like the iconic Morph Ball and Grapple Beam to revisit hard-to-reach areas and find a path forward. With revamped graphics, sound, unlockable art, and updated control schemes, Samus’ 3D platforming debut has reached greater heights. Calm and capable, Samus takes on this solo mission...but she is far from alone.
