Ridge Racer 8 canceled?

Ridge Racer 8 was originally rumored to be coming to the Nintendo Switch, but it seems that it  could have since been canceled.

This rumor comes from YouTuber Doctre81 who has been investigating a Linkedin page by an employee at Bandai Namco Singapore Studios.

So it crashed?

Bandai Namco were originally in charge of developing Metroid Prime 4 using Unreal Engine 4 and Ridge Racer, but the artists new listing now says that he had experience developing two canceled Unreal Engine 4 games.

Long story short, a LinkedIn resume for a former Bandai Namco Singapore employee cites two unannounced and canceled Unreal Engine 4 games, and other LinkedIn profile details seem to corroborate that the two titles are (Bandai Namco’s) Metroid Prime 4 and Ridge Racer 8.

But keep in mind this is all just speculation. We have never seen a official Ridge Racer 8 announcement
