Eternal Darkness 2 Being Made By Retro?

It appears that an interesting rumor is floating around in the ether. Retro Studios, the company behind the Metroid Prime trilogy and most recently Donkey Kong Country Returns, will be developing the sequel to one of the scariest games of all time: Eternal Darkness.

Last year when Nintendo renewed the Eternal Darkness trademark it became pretty clear that a new one would be out but there's one problem, who's working on it? After Silicon Knights burned the bridge with Nintendo to go work on Too Human the trademark was retained by the big N.

Retro being named as the developer just adds more to the psychological thriller. But if DKCR shows one thing, it's that Retro can step up.
