This by itself doesn't raise any red flags for me.

They could just be increasing there team for some other project, or hiring some more talent to polish up the game, both are possible. Sometimes people leave the company for personal reasons and need to be replaced, there can be so many factors behind this.

Nintendo shadow dropped Metroid Prime 1, which to be honest doesn't make any sense to me, but I think it shows they have some sort of roadmap to Prime 4 release, with Prime 2 and Prime 3 coming in few months. We may get a Prime 4 announcement next fiscal year, that is after March 2024.

What do you think? Any theories?

Just a guess, but i wonder if Prime 4 is basically done at this point, but they are rushing to do remasters of 2 & 3.

I'm thinking they might be hiring on new staff to help quickly finish those up... but I'm semi-wild-guessing with that

It is possible, but from all the rumours that were circulating, Prime 2 and 3 are already remastered, and it's on Nintendo when they release those.
