Metroid Dread - Blog Posts
October... again!
In honor of this year’s E3 and the announcement of a post Fusion Metroid game, Metroid Dread nonetheless! I have decided to start a post(and perhaps a chain if others would be so kind to correct me on mistakes) on the lore story and timeline of the Metroid Series so far just for fun!
Let’s start with the timeline(this is just going to be the various works in the series listed in chronological order). Our timeline starts with the events of the Manga and lead into the flashback's from Other M if you accept that game as cannon(I personally don’t but you can come to your own opinion) fallowed next by Metroid Zero Mission/Metroid 1(the remakes will be seen as the cannon versions) and now we reach a bit of a divide. You see this is where we would fit the entirety of the Prime series(Prime 4′s position pending) however Yoshio Sakamoto has stated that the Prime games are an alternative universe, but there is no evidence that debunks them from the cannon timeline(Other M not withstanding) I personally like them to be part of the main timeline but again come to your own opinion. The Prime series timeline is as fallows: Metroid Prime 1, Metroid Prime 2, Metroid Prime Hunters, Metroid Prime 3, Metroid Prime Federation Force and theorized Prime 4. Going back to the main series we reach the events of Metroid 2/Samus Returns going directly into Super Metroid fallowed By... Other M... moving into where the timeline was left hanging for 19 years Metroid Fusion and concluded with the new Metroid Dread. It took me a bit to type this up so I’ll continue to update it late.
