Hello Fami,
I did a little investigation that EPD 4 might be developing a
Star Fox Game
EPD 4's last released game was Nintendo Switch Sports.
In Nintendo Switch Sports data, there is unused code relating to objects from a
Star Fox game.

Logic_StarFoxPassStraightRing

Logic_StarFoxTestRing
Present in
Node.aidefn.byml.zs is code relating to objects from a
Star Fox game.

Now that might mean nothing, but keep in mind that Super Mario 3D All-Stars had files based on Pikmin

Stage Names
Inside
/SystemData/MemorySystem.alsarc.zs in the launcher is a file called
HeapSizeDefine.byml, which contains names for stages that don't exist, as the launcher doesn't actually have any stages. Interestingly, a good number of them mention
Pikmin.
A list of these stage names is below:

TestHayakawaVrPikmin01Stage
TestHayakawaVrPikmin02Stage
TestHayakawaVrPikmin03Stage
TestHayakawaVrPikmin04Stage

Nintendo Switch Sports, Super Mario 3D All-Stars and Pikmin 4 seem all to be running on the same LunchPack engine
In conclusion, EPD 4 may be working on a Star Fox game in the LunchPack engine.
I also want to mention that Super Mario 3D All-Stars has a lot of unused Sound Files, that don't seem to be related to
3D All-Stars, but rather another Mario title, and other Nintendo franchises.
