One of the most promising Xbox Game Studios exclusives is Perfect Dark, the reboot of the adventures of Joanna Dark which is being made by newly created studio The Initiative, which at the moment no other active development is known. It is precisely to help the studio created by Microsoft that Crystal Dynamics and its experience in titles like Tomb Raider, since the director of The Initiative, Darrell Gallagher, is one of the creators of the latest Lara Croft trilogy.
Unfortunately, the light has not yet been seen for this project, for which this collaboration between studies was confirmed from this same date last year. Perfect Dark wasn’t in the June Xbox showcase, but we’ll likely see it in 2023, if the words of the CEO of Crystal Dynamics and EidosPhil Rogers, are met for this question:
We are working on the iconic game Perfect Dark and the project is progressing extremely well
Perfect Dark, another AAA+ coming
We don’t know the approximate release date Perfect Dark might have, but we’re surprised that without any recent development updates it’s set to have a closed date, something Microsoft is increasingly busy with. , so delays like Starfield or Halo Infinite. On the other hand, we find the words of Rogers curious, which says this collaboration with The Initiative is a new way of workingreferring to the close contact between two different and geographically separated offices.
One can only wonder, will we see anything from Perfect Dark at the upcoming The Game Awards? It’s the last hope of seeing something of what’s coming in 2023 from Xbox Game Studios, though we don’t know what kind of bet Microsoft wants to make -beyond lending the theater with its name-, with Geoff Keighley and his GOTY.
