Update (16th June): Some UK pre-order pages are now live!
To great excitement, Nintendo revealed its newest Metroid game during their E3 2021 Direct. Metroid Dread is being developed by MercuryStream, who you will remember from the excellent Metroid: Samus Returns on the 3DS, and the new game is launching on 8th October 2021.
Metroid Dread pre-orders are open now in North America and in the UK. You can pre-order the standard edition, but pre-orders for the Metroid Dread Special Edition bundle — which looks amazing — are also live.
In addition to this, there is also a two-pack of amiibo up for grabs, featuring Samus and one of her dreaded robot foes, the E.M.M.I.
We are keeping an eye out for pre-order availability, and will update this guide as any new Metroid Dread pre-order pages appear.

Pre-order Samus and EMMI amiibo in the UK
To go alongside the game, Nintendo is releasing a pair of dapper-looking amiibo which we think look fantastic — equally the match of previous amiibo in the series.
While Nintendo hasn’t yet revealed how the Samus and EMMI amiibo will work in the game, we are sure that they will have some functionality which makes them worthwhile.
At the time of writing we can’t find any UK Samus and EMMI amiibo pre-orders, but we’ll add them here when they go live.
