Those thinking of playing Metroid Dread are likely curious about the post-game content. Given that it’s a $60 game, people want to make sure they’re getting their money’s worth. So, we’ll take a look at what there is to do after beating Metroid Dread below.
Does Metroid Dread have post-game content?
Metroid Dread has post-game content in the form of Hard difficulty and unlockable artwork. That’s not much compared to open-world games, but there are some player-driven things to do after beating Metroid Dread for the first time.
The game doesn’t spell it out, but there are alternate routes that players can take to obtain gear for Samus. Sequence breaking allows users to play the game in a different order, and can even lead to some easter eggs.
Going hand-in-hand with sequence breaking is speedrunning. Metroidvanias are excellent games to speedrun, and there’s sure to be a robust scene for Metroid Dread. Since it’s just launched, now is a great time to get into the community and discuss routes and times.
Those who aren’t interested in speedrunning still have a reason to replay. Players can unlock Chozo Archive art gallery images by getting 100% of the items in an area. It might seem like quite a challenge for some still images, but they’re pretty neat.
Players can also unlock art by beating the game under certain circumstances:
- Beat the game on Normal: Metroid: Zero Mission art
- Beat the game on Normal in less than eight hours: Metroid: Samus Returns
- Beat the game on Normal in less than 4 hours: Super Metroid
- Beat the game on Hard: Metroid: Other M
- Beat the game on Hard in less than eight hours: Metroid Fusion
- Beat the game on Hard in less than four hours: Metroid Dread
- Unlock all ending rewards: Zero Suit Samus
Again, these are just still images, but they do signify bragging rights.
