Stephen Dupree

Stephen Dupree is an American video game designer. He was a game designer at Retro Studios from August 2009 to August 2017, starting as a contract designer for Donkey Kong Country Returns and later becoming lead designer for Tropical Freeze. He did not work on the initial Metroid Prime series. Dupree left Retro in August 2017 to work at Playful Corp for about two years on Super Lucky's Tale.

Dupree's return to Retro Studios as lead game designer was reported in early January 2020. According to LinkedIn, he returned in September 2019. It is very possible that he is part of the development of Metroid Prime 4, although this remains to be confirmed.
