With credits from Metroid Prime Remasteredwe get a fresh perspective from the team behind the launch.
While development was largely handled by Retro Studios, other companies were involved. Iron Galaxy Studios, which previously worked on the Switch versions of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Diablo III, and Overwatch, appeared to take a leading role during development. Airship Images Limited, Atomhawk Design, CGBot, Gamesim Inc, Liquid Development, Original Force LTD, Shanghai Mineloader Digital Technology and Zombot Studio are also credited.
Metroid Prime Remastered credits do not actually contain the original GameCube or Wii game credits. They do, however, contain a broad acknowledgment to the teams that worked on these games.
Several developers from Retro Studios worked on Metroid Prime Remastered which joined the company following the announcement in January 2019 that the team would be taking over Metroid Prime 4. At the same time, some of the developers credited for Metroid Prime Remastered left Retro over the past two years. It’s assumed that some of the new hires Retro made were to help out with Metroid Prime Remastered. Some examples include Senior Producer Marisa Palumbo was only with the company between October 2020 and October 2021, Senior Art Director Jhony Ljungstedt, who joined in February 2020, and Producer Beverly Garland, who started in July. 2020. 2020.
