It’s been a while since we last heard from Retro Studios about the development of Metroid Prime 4, but the company tweeted today that it is looking to hire a Lead Producer for the upcoming Switch title.
Check out the tweet from the Nintendo subsidiary company Retro Studios below:

The position in need is a lead producer to join the development of the new Metroid title. The job listing, found on Nintendo’s official website, shows the lead producer’s responsibilities, which include everything from studio-wide communications of project status to maintaining project timelines. It also requires a minimum of 10 years of production experience in game development.
The last time Retro Studios tweeted about Metroid Prime 4 was back in June 2019, when the company was looking for an art director to lead the “collaborative development” of Metroid Prime 4‘s artistic direction. In October 2019, we learned that Retro Studios hired Kyle Hefley as its lead character artist. He previously worked at 343 Industries and helped model many Spartan Soldiers from Halo 4 and Halo 5, including Master Chief in Halo 4.
Metroid Prime 4 is currently in development for the Nintendo Switch.
