As with past Metroid titles, Metroid Dread features Hard Mode and is unlocked upon clearing the game on Normal difficulty. Afterwards, you will be able to select Hard difficulty when starting a new playthrough. Be warned that you cannot lower the difficulty to Normal upon starting a new playthrough on Hard.

Permanent Events

Tougher Enemies with Increased Health and Attack

Note that regular enemies and bosses have more health and deal more damage on Hard Mode. Try to spend time practicing on Normal difficulty to get all enemy attacks down, especially if you have not unlocked all Ending Rewards on that mode.
