Perfect Dark is now developed by The Initiative and Crystal Dynamics

In December 2020, Microsoft announced a new Perfect Dark game. And today, The Initiative announced that it will be working with Crystal Dynamics in order to develop it.

Perfect Dark will be a first-person spy thriller. The game will release on Xbox Series X|S and PC (from what we know so far). However, there is no ETA on when it will come out.

Unfortunately, Microsoft has not revealed any additional details about this game. Thus, I’ve decided to re-share its announcement trailer. After all, there is nothing more to report on this game. And yes, you should not be expecting to be playing it anytime soon.

Stay tuned for more!

  1. Crystal dynamic? the legendary developers behind that awesome game called marvel’s avenges? wow, what could go wrong?

    1. The Initiative boss was responsible for six Tomb Raiders games from 2006 Legends up to 2015 Rise of Tomb Raider. He quit Crystal Dynamics in 2016 when Square Enix make deal with Marvel and give Tomb Raider to different studio. He never work on Avengers or Shadow of Tomb Raider

  2. I’m not holding my breath for it. Xbox is turbo woke so the likelihood of them blackfacing the sexy red head/brunette Joanna Dark into a mannish angry black woman is high.

    If that Xbox 360 remaster of the original N64 game could be ported to PC then I’d be happy as hell. That’s all that I’d want from this franchise.

      1. I’ll have a look into it some time. My main desire for a proper PC port though would be for keyboard + mouse controls. When I played the remake on 360 back in the day the aiming accuracy and movement speed on dual analogue control stick was still quite bad, I found.

        1. Look online for the “1964” Project64 build with included “mouse injector”. It provides really well done keyboard/mouse controls for Goldeneye and Perfect Dark.

          1. Except those of the N64 originals. I would like a solution to play the Xbox 360 remake with mouse + keyboard.

  3. The Initiative is collabing with Crystal Dynamics maybe to ensure a great character story, because of how they remade Tomb Raider and created a grounded and empowering Lara Croft. I think Microsoft wanted to add a new game icon for their platform alongside Master Chief.
