Nintendo announced Metroid Prime 4 for the Nintendo Switch back in June 2017 and after more than three years we have yet to see anything new on the game.
Development for the game was restarted from scratch in 2019 as Retro Studios took over the project. The developer has been hiring many new employees in recent months.
Retro Studios is looking to spend over $500,000 on a new 37,335 square-foot office in Austin, Texas. The new office will be its new headquarters and the studio plans to move into the new offices in May 2021.

That can't be right. That is incredibly cheap.
It says over 500k. Plus it’s Texas. Real estate there is cheap.
Good that Retro is back in business! Metroid deserves the kind of big upgrade Zelda and Animal Crossing got. It's got the potential.
37K square meters of space for 500K USD? In the center of a major city? Seems like a massive typo. 500K USD wouldn’t afford 37 square meters in many cities. Sounds like you mean 500M USD, not 500K. Other possibility is they didn’t buy a building, but rather 37K square meters of Texas wasteland.
Seems pretty standard stuff. Nintendo has been moving their studios into new offices for the past year or so in order to grow their number of staff.
Hope that this is some news to tell us that they'll be getting bigger so they can work on more projects.
Anyway, the team for MP4 is getting more more solid. Parallel teams need to pop-up and that's previsible due to the job offers available.
Nintendo needs retro at their best form. it's all the best that we wish for such a studio.
Could this mean Retro might be expanding? 37 000 square-feet sounds like a lot of space.
They say everything is bigger in Texas.
That rug was indeed really old and needed to be changed asap
500,000?????? Basically gets you an average house these days
They are in Texas, where everything seems to be relatively cheaper than in other American states where the standards are high.
I basically payed more for my house
Correction, i didnt, forgot this is US dollars.
