‘Metroid Dread’ is the fastest-selling ‘Metroid’ game in the UK
Metroid series has typically never sold that well, but the success of Metroid Dread could change all that as it’s the fastest-selling Metroid game in the UK to date.As first reported by GamesIndustry.biz, Dread has sold more than three and a half times as many copies as the last 2D Metroid game did at launch, Metroid: Samus Returns.This is great news for fans of the series. Metroid is one of Nintendo‘s smaller IPs, and it took 19 years for a new side-scrolling 2D entry in the series, so hopefully, these relatively high sales numbers mean more Metroid will be on the horizon.Dread took bronze in last week’s UK game sales charts, and that’s without taking into account digital sales, which Nintendo doesn’t disclose.
