Metroid dread...
Shortly after the events in Metroid 4 the galaxy is in peace; well mostly the space pirates are diminished and scattered the Metroid's are all but extinct and the X are no more, things for Samus however are not looking so great her crossed genetics with the Metroid and X genes are rapidly mutating her inside her Varia suit.
Samus now finds herself against the clock searching the galaxy for a rumored ancient Chozo shamen outpost that has experimented with Metroid's and created the Chozo technology her suit is made from, hoping to find answers or even better a fix for her current situation.
On arrival at the Chozo site she finds the area incredibly hostile and Unhelpful towards her current mutated state. The Chozo ruin sees her as a Metroid X hybrid with very little human or Chozo dna remaining. Samus has no choice but to call in in the federation and use their science crew to help her unlock the secrets of the site.
The science crew arrives with a huge military convoy; eager and start work opening up sections of the Chozo ruin and obtain their technology Samus has little choice but to agree, whilst Samus and the Federation begin exploring the ruins they start receiving weak power signals of a unknown space pirate stronghold in the same system as the Chozo site. Both areas will now be open for Samus to go between each offering a deeper darker plot as you progress through.
It's not long before emergency signals start ringing from the pirate stronghold as a powerfull foe from Samus's past starts picking the federation troopers off one by one. As she explores the area the pirate stronghold turns out to be an abandoned sealed off cloning station. And at its core is Ridley the real Ridley who has been frozen for a few decades, introducing the idea that Samus has never fought the original Ridley that killed her family every Ridley she's faced including a few found inside the current lab she's in are the clones created to lead his pirates into battle while he heals from wounds inflicted by mother brain when she took charge of the pirates before the events of the first game. The clones are called the children of Ridley. Perhaps the real Ridley can talk showing more intelligence than the usual one.
Meanwhile in the Chozo ruins the mystery should unravel to expose the ancient Chozo race way before Samus ever met them were a far more dominant race like the old British empire, they were more advanced than most races and spread throughout the galaxy taking planets and setting up Chozo bases that monitor and control the events and evolution of the galaxy lifeforms as they see fit.
Tired of the Chozo rule slowing other worlds evolutionary progression an even older race of watchers (Uular jenor),from beyond the outside the current universe decide to step in and push the Chozo back entering the universe through giant unmanned energy portal gates that lead directly to their home world beginning a huge galactic war which the Chozo largely lose retreating back across the stars the Chozo decide to create a weapon that would sython power from these portals leaving thenm unable to be opened and lifeless keeping the Uulor in their old universe.
The Chozo create the Metroid which works and drains the portals and wins the war, the plan is a flawed as the Metroid left begin attacking Chozo and other lifeforms threatening all life in the universe unless contained somehow.
As Samus explores further unraveling the mystery of the ruin she should finally come across one off the massive ancient jump gates the site was built around to experiment on it and keep it sealed away the gates tech should be very advanced and the forerunner for a lot of the Chozo's less spiritual technology including big elements of Samus's suit.
on her adventure breaking through the ruin Samus has been unlocking the gate restoring its power and at the end has to choose wether to trust the Chozo who have been revealed as liars to Samus and far more murderous deceitful and corrupt than she was always led to believe sealing the ruins again and give in to her mutation even tho it means almost certain eventual death to protect the universe from the Uulor who are primarily after the Chozo only. Or choose to take the final step restoring access to the old universe separating her DNA from the suit and her mutations and letting her live.
Obviously Samus chooses to preserve her life as shes been lied to on all fronts and opens the gate allowing her access to her final separation although the Chozo weren't wrong about the Uulor they have been driven to madness by the Metroid invasion of their universe and the final boss is the Uulor king a colossal giant statue like being very god like trying to force himself through into the universe Samus then has to use every element of Metroid DNA in her suit to syphon off the energy placing each form at separate points of the gate whilst her ship holds the king from stepping through at the end Samus should end up sealing herself inside the Uulor universe without any suit or ship completely alone with no way back.
Bullet point explanations.
As Samus progresses through the Chozo site her suits get striped rom her i.e. varia suit, fusion, zero mutated suit. The suits stay with Samus however and she's able to eject and fight alongside her power suits i.e. her varia suit modified with federation tech can detach and be controlled on gamepad screen as a tank style back up keeping enemies occupied as you solve puzzles etc.
Instead of collecting most usual upgrades you already have them to start with, then as your suits change the abilities get assigned to certain suit levels i.e.
Varia suit... charge beam, charge shield, super rockets, super bombs,
Fusion suit... speed booster, boost ball spider ball, x beam, electric grapple
Metroid Mutated zero suit... shine spark, slow spark, screw attack, suit grapple
Zero suit... stun blast,
Her suits are used like a Russian doll each time you have to use a different suit it opens up but stays in the zone you left it able to be controlled on the game pad separately from your main analogue control scheme. On the zone map each suit can be used to push pull hold for help in puzzles etc. and also can be used as sentry units to help against respawning or massive enemy groups or as distractions.
Different suits can be used to aid other suits with upgraded weapons i.e. speed boosting out of a fusion suit will cause a brief slow down moment allowing you to run around targeting enemies or shine sparking through them, or using the mutated zero suits grapple on an ejected fusion suit will create a large connected electric wire beam that ca be used as an grouped range attack etc.
Each suit has less health than the one it ejects from.
Samus is now part Metroid to slow mutation and regain health she must use an energy beam that drains
Samus should be tough and a dependent at all times i.e. Ripley rom Aliens, or Sarah Conner Terminator. There should be an explanation that as the military was scared of her Chozo power suit they fitted her with an obedience chip while she was being monitored by Commander Adam Malkovich clearing up problems people had with other m and Fusion. that should be removed in this game adding an extra un trustworthy element to the Federation all this serves as Samus is alone even when surrounded with characters she should not be able to trust anyone even herself thanks to her mutation.
