If you’re still here, the biggest reveal is a living, walking, shooting Chozo. Those familiar with Metroid lore will likely remember the Chozo raised Samus after Space Pirates killed her family — and if you don’t remember, Nintendo is keen to remind everyone with flashes of Chozo hieroglyphs in the trailer and featuring in key art.
The trailer ends with a deadly showdown between the Chozo and Samus. In a fitting twist for the end of the original Metroid saga, it holds plenty of implications for Metroid lore. In between that, though, we get another surprise: Kraid in Chains.
Kraid is a classic Metroid enemy that featured in the original and Super Metroid, but he’s been missing ever since. Whether this means we’ll see Dread versions of other classics, including Ridley, is a mystery for now.
