Gamers Are Urging Each Other to Buy Metroid Dread

[Animous]

After a surprise reveal out of nowhere during this year's E3, Metroid Dread is in the hands of gamers after a 16-year-long wait. Naturally, fans of the series are incredibly excited. After waiting so long for a new title in the franchise, gamers are hoping for it to succeed by urging other players to give it a try.

While the idea of a 16-year hiatus may seem startling to those new to Metroid, older fans have known about a game called Metroid Dread being in the works since 2005. Back when rumors first circulated about Dread being in development, it was believed to be a sequel to Metroid Fusion on the Game Boy Advance. As the title had been reportedly in development limbo for some time, there hadn't been a 2D Metroid game released in 19 years, now broken by Dread's release.

Metroid Dread has been reviewed positively by critics and fans alike. With gorgeous visuals and wonderful art direction that fans seem to adore to pieces, the Metroid series looks to have a bright future ahead of it. With that in mind, many fans of Samus and her adventures know that the best way to show support and a desire for more is sales. In order to make sure that the series gets yet another title in the works, players have taken to social media to urge more people to buy the new game with "#BuyMetroidDread."

While some are trying to advertise it and sing its praises, others are pointing out how Metroid Dread is already successful, hitting number one on online sales charts for preorders and purchases with ease. As the title may be already set for success, some fans are rallying together under the hashtag "#ThankYouMercurySteam" to thank the developers directly for their time with the game.

With a game as enjoyable for plenty of gamers like Metroid Dread, it's only natural that some players would want a sequel as fast as possible. The game promises to end the current story arc of the franchise with as much of a bang as it can muster, and if it delivers, then the only thing left for fans to wonder about is what awaits Samus Aran next after the game's events.

Still, Metroid fans at least hopefully won't have to wait too long for news, as Metroid Prime 4 is still in development. U
