Recently, The Initiative revealed that Crystal Dynamics, known for its work in the Tomb Raider series, has been helping them co-develop Perfect Dark.
With experienced developers who have previously worked on mega-hit franchises like God of War, Uncharted, Tomb Raider, and Halo, Microsoft seems to be determined to make this studio one of the best and to make Perfect Dark a title worth remembering. The Initiative has been on a hiring spree since 2018, but has only been hiring industry veterans for their AAAA studio. It’s likely going to have larger level designs and a vast roster of guns and gadgets compared to the previous entries. Perfect Dark will probably have the same core mechanics as the original games, and revamp all of the outdated stuff. The first game was level-based and featured many unique weapons that stand out to this very day, and we can expect a similar approach for this reboot and may even see some weapons returning from the older PD.īased on the developers’ interview and trailer premiered at The Game Awards, the game may be featuring some Mirror’s Edge-like parkour and physicality based off of the GoPro body cam movements that we saw in the trailer and the developer emphasising on the protagonist ‘sliding under things, jumping over things.’ But, to make an educated guess and using the description shared by the developers for the upcoming game, it will indeed be a first-person shooter and will feature various weapons, gadgets, and a camera surveillance system. There has been no mention of the studio upgrading to Unreal 5 but you can still expect Perfect Dark to look breathtaking as it is considered to be a AAAA game by Microsoft.Īs far as the gameplay goes, there has been no gameplay footage shared for the next Perfect Dark. It is a reboot of the franchise and we got the confirmation in last year’s Game Awards hosted by Geoff Keighly, but the rumour had been going around for a while.įirst spotted by Klobrille on Twitter, who shared a job listing from The Initiative which confirmed that the game will be running on Unreal Engine 4. This was the case until Microsoft’s new studio, The Initiative, revealed that the game they’re working on is… Perfect Dark. Despite being commercially successful, the franchise was left in the dust for some reason. After Microsoft’s buyout of Rare, we saw a sequel for the game in 2005 called Perfect Dark: Zero and a remaster of the original game in 2010 for the Xbox 360. It received critical acclaim for having unique weapons, exceptional gameplay, and nailing the female lead. The first Perfect Dark launched back in 2000 for the Nintendo 64.
