Samus Aran

One of the greatest bounty hunters in the galaxy. Capable of overcoming any obstacle – no matter the danger.

Sylux

An enigmatic bounty hunter and deadly sharpshooter with a deep-seated grudge against the Galactic Federation – and Samus.

Galactic Federation Troopers

Several troopers also find themselves unexpectedly transported to Viewros. They’ll help Samus out as they try find their way home together.

Lamorn

An alien race that once existed on planet Viewros. They make a solemn request of Samus, granting her new psychic abilities.

Grievers

Ferocious predators found throughout Viewros. They often hunt in packs and are known to attack other creatures indiscriminately.

Wield new abilities

Upon arriving on Viewros, Samus is granted new psychic abilities by the Lamorn. Using these abilities, she’ll be able to operate mechanisms, control the trajectory of charged shots and more, granting access to previously inaccessible areas of the planet.

Along for the ride

As her adventure progresses, Samus also acquires a vehicle called Vi-O-La. Equipped with advanced features, she can ride it across the planet, using unique weaponry to fight enemies.
