Precursor Games says that Shadow of the Eternals is not cancelled, but it’ll be a while before any new announcements

Shadow of the Eternals has had quite a tumultuous development cycle, ending in its indefinite delay last September. Today, we’ve heard that the project isn’t properly “dead”, but we shouldn’t expect anything new to come out about it any time soon. This statement from the dev team was released on their forums earlier today:
We’ll be continuing to upgrade and keep the forums running and we’re taking a look at where the SOTE project is at, potential options and directions for the future as well as going over lessons learned from the campaigns.
We very much intend to keep the project alive and get back to production but please understand that there probably won’t be any major news or update for a while yet. We’ve got a lot of work ahead to understand the options available to us going forward and to do the best thing by the game.

GameXplain has put together a fairly comprehensive listing of levels in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. You can find the full lineup below.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is native 720p at 60 FPS, upscaled to 1080p

Just in case you were wondering, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze doesn’t run naturally at 1080p. Nintendo has clarified that the game is native 720p (at 60 frames per second by the way), though is upscaled to the higher resolution.
GameXplain relayed the news via Twitter:
Also, we clarified with Nintendo that Tropical Freeze is native 720p (@ 60fps), upscaled to 1080p.

This probably won’t end up being a big deal for most players, but is worth mentioning in any case.
