Jon Verrall, who has been working at Retro Studios, has announced that he is leaving the company. He’s spent two years at the Austin developer as a writer and cinematic director. Hopefully that means that Retro Studios latest project is nearing completion, but we shall have to wait until E3 2018 which takes place next month in Los Angeles.
I've had a wonderful time at Retro Studios—the people there are awesome, and I'll miss them dearly. But…
It's time for me to return. Salut, Montréal! I'll be home May 15, and I can't wait!

What did he write and direct? I thought the last Retro title was Tropical Freeze and that came out in 2014?
Presumably whatever it is that they have been working on these last few years :)
Hopefully this means whatever’s been worked on is far enough in development to show us some footage soon.
Are we REALLY going to hear what they’ve been up to this e3.
I so hope so and I hope it’s good!
With Pokémon, fire emblem, smash, metroid, yoshi, and bayonetta, whole retro studios, pikmin and animal crossing could be soon on the docket, something’s getting cut from e3. Even if, say bayonetta and an unannounced game were cut that’s still a stellar e3
*While not whole
Too bad that he is leaving without the secret game that he helped develop being revealed. I wonder why he didn’t stay until the game got revealed?
Ubisoft has a base in Montreal…
