## [](#so-it-crashed)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
