New difficulty level: ”Rookie Mode”

This difficulty increases health gained from items and decreases damage from bosses. This is a great choice for those who would prefer less intense action while preserving the same excitement of discovery and exploration throughout the planet ZDR.

New difficulty level: “Dread Mode”

Just one hit will spell the end of intergalactic bounty hunter Samus Aran in this intense test of your action/exploration bona fides. Do you have what it takes to escape unscathed? You’ll need to complete Hard Mode first before stepping up to this challenge.
