Key Metroid Prime Staff Leave Retro Studios
by Chris Faylor, Apr 23, 2008 10:28pm PDTShacknews has learned that several key employees from Metroid Prime series developer Retro Studios are no longer with the company.
Design director Mark Pacini, art director Todd Keller, and principal technology engineer Jack Mathews were escorted off the premises last Friday. The simultaneous departure of senior staff members is generally indicative of an intention to branch off and form a new development studio.
Contrary to other rumors, Shacknews has also learned that Retro Studios is not in danger of closing.
Founded in 1998 and purchased by Nintendo in 2001, Retro was responsible for the Metroid Prime trilogy, which concluded with the company's first Wii title last August. The studio's current project is unknown, though it has stated its intent to move away from the Metroid franchise.
