I guess that I am more on the pessimistic side but I feel that a Samus canvas for Retro Studio's "We're Hiring" banner is not super impressive in 2022. Firstly, the game is supposed to be 3 years into development, it concerns me that they are doing a big enough hiring campaign to justify something like this on the front page of their website. I would have expected a hiring add like this back in March of 2019 after Nintendo announced that Retro would be leading the project. Secondly, we're 3 years into development, a banner is not enough. We should have had at least a trailer + a follow-up gameplay broadcast of some kind by now. My honest feeling is that the project is probably stalled as of right now and that Retro has made very little firm progress and that they are trying to relaunch development.
That said, let's take this banner as a positive sign that they are indeed trying to relaunch the project and that it will hopefully be successful this time. If that is the case then hopefully we can at least get some kind of teaser trailer before the end of the year and maybe a release in 3 years (which is the minimum amount of time that it will take to develop a AAA game like Prime 4 properly). Once I see a trailer, I will become very excited.
