Since its release date is still a ways off, we would bet on it being an Xbox Series X|S console exclusive. Since Perfect Dark is owned by Microsoft, it’ll likely be exclusive to Xbox. Also, Johanna will likely be angstry and have some needless tragic backstory (which we already get a hint of in the trailer), which will be completely out of place because intelligence agencies prize emotional stability in their secret agents.
So, instead of siding with Elvis the Maian against the insidious Skedar, prepare for a super serious look at why corporations and global warming are bad. Unfortunately, if we had to guess, this will lack the camp and humor of the original and go for a dark, gritty approach like every other game does nowadays.
So, it’d be fair to guess that The Initiative’s reboot will tell an entirely new story instead of adapting the original game. The original Perfect Dark didn’t take us to Egypt at any point. It appears that one of these corporations is dataDyne and Johanna Dark has to infiltrate one of its facilities in Egypt for some reason. Apparently, corporations had some solutions to these issues, but it appears that they come with a price. The voiceover in the trailer tells us that global warming has melted the polar ice caps causing massive storms and climate change across the earth. All we have to go on concerning the story so far is the short announcement trailer and a few pieces of concept art. Perfect Dark reboot storyĪs the name suggests, the Perfect Dark reboot (tentatively titled Perfect Dark) is a reboot of the series. Unfortunately, Embracer’s purchase of Crystal Dynamics may throw another wrench into the works for the game, but nothing has been announced yet. With The Initiative bleeding staff, Microsoft likely called on Crystal Dynamics to do a little more than “help” with development. Game director Dan Neuburger, design director Drew Murray, lead level designer Chris O’Neill, principal world builder Jolyon Myers, several senior system designers, two senior writers, the technical director, tech art director, lead gameplay engineer, lead animator, QA lead, and numerous others quit within that 12 months. VGC reported that throughout 2021 The Initiative saw a ton of senior developers leave the studio. However, some recent news gave credence to the hypothesis that the Perfect Dark reboot has been canceled or that the studio restarted development. Bringing another studio in to assist when a game has already been in development for 2-3 years isn’t always the best sign that things are going well. In September 2021, The Initiative announced that it was partnering with Crystal Dynamics to develop the game.
