Interesting.

I wonder... I'd just like to know how far along they are, and whether the project is going well finally.

After reading visceral and remembering dead space made me realise I wouldn't mind metroid prime 4 going 3rd person instead of 1st. I don't mind either but may be an idea to make it feel fresh and new compared to the other 3.

Hell of a resume, working on Battlefield and Star Wars will serve purpose in any game really.

Hope it turns out well. This game is probably going to be the switch's swan song.

Good to see them hiring more quality staff. It wouldn’t surprise me if Metroid Prime 4 was a Switch 2 (cross gen ofc) launch title targeting Winter 2022.
