Id Software had plans for a new Perfect Dark
But after the massive layoffs, it's very likely that we'll never get to see what this project would have looked like.
But after the massive layoffs, it's very likely that we'll never get to see what this project would have looked like.
Alix Wilton Regan, the actress who was to play Joanna Dark, began filming from 2023 to early 2025, and believes that everything was "well underway".
While Take-Two couldn't save the project, it is interested in keeping the heads of it.
Now we get a better look at at an action-adventure that we will never get the opportunity to play.
Unfortunately, the negotiations with Microsoft fell through, which led to Crystal Dynamics being forced to cut staff...
Alix Wilton Regan has commented on the recent closure of The Initiative and the end of development on the Perfect Dark reboot.
After years of silence, internal turmoil, and no released games, both the studio and its flagship project are officially dead.
The Initiative have answered some big questions about the game.
The Initiative and Crystal Dynamics have something good in the works, but we still don't know when we'll be able to play it.
Last week we reported that it probably wouldn't happen, but another insider claims to have other information...
We should probably not expect to see it anytime soon then.
The developer The Initiative is now officially active on social media.
At least that's according to Matt Booty, head of Microsoft Studios.
LinkedIn has once again proven to be a great source of information.
A new job listing seems to indicate both first- and third-person gameplay.
Work on the project is said to have hit a 'road bump or two.'
It seems to be smooth sailing after the rough start.
"Of course we want to work with them, particularly if they've made a game like that before."
Proven insider and editor reveals the development finally seems to be on track.
It's said that the title is making "great progress".
We're told that the game is still "early in development".
According to Christopher Dring the games are "so far away."
Drew Murray is leaving the AAAA studio as his "life outside of work needs more attention and headspace."
The Initiative will house developers coming from Bungie, Crystal Dynamics, Naughty Dog, Respawn, Rockstar, Sony Santa Monica and Treyarch.
The Game Director for Perfect Dark digs a little deeper into what we can expect.
Joanna Dark is set to make a return after 15 long years.
Any announcement for the game is also expected to be coming soon.
The studio continues to expand its talent roster, singing former employees from Epic, Insomniac, and Blizzard.
The studio also hired former Naughty Dog employee, Laurent Manuel García Carro.
It might not be a direct sequel, but the claim is that it's in the same universe.
The recruitment team continues to bring in talented developers for the studio's mystery debut title.
The studio is working on a game with weapons, gadgets, and camera surveillance, which narrows things down a little.
