We've just received word that Retro Studios design director Mark Pacini, art director Todd Keller, and principal technology engineer Jack Mathews have left Retro Studios. No clue on why they left, but they were reportedly "escorted off the premises" (whatever that means, though I doubt it's as bad as it sounds). However, Retro Studios is in no danger of closing and still has a strong staff. Retro Studios has said that their next game isn't going to be a Metroid title, so their loss won't affect the series -- but that doesn't mean it won't affect their next project. While we're sad to see them go, we wish them best of luck in their future endeavors.

Until next time...
