Mike Wikan, one of the key staffers at Retro Studios since the studio’s early days, has left the company for id Software. Wikan participated in the development for all three Metroid Prime titles. Last year, he led the Donkey Kong Country Returns team in boss and enemy creation.

Wikan’s LinkedIn profile reveals that he left Retro in May and joined id Software in the same month. This ends his eleven-year tenure as Senior Game Designer with the company.
