Obviously there's always a chance. But it's been 7 years since prime 3 and 10 since Zero mission.
It's terrible in both cases since there just isn't another game that's anything like Prime1/2/3, so if Retro doesn't make it, no-one does, and the situation isn't much better for the 2d games since the good 2d castlevanias have disappeared and barely anyone makes good metroidvanias, despite the numerous indies trying to replicate it.
Hopefully the success of the revival of 2D zelda will have convinced Nintendo there's room for a 2D metroid on 3DS. I'm not sure which second party they'd farm it out to though (since they wouldn't use one of the main teams for it).
They were never going to show Prime 4 this e3 anyway, retros last game only shipped in feburary, they'd never have something good enough to show ready yet.
