Perfect Dark Developer and Crystal Dynamics to Partner Up for Reboot

A long-anticipated reboot for fan-favorite sci-fi action franchise Perfect Dark has been revealed by Xbox first-party developer The Initiative and publisher Xbox Game Studios during The Game Awards 2020 event via an official teaser trailer.

Although very little is known about upcoming Xbox-exclusive game, The Initiative announces to co-develop Perfect Dark reboot alongside Crystal Dynamics, San Francisco-based studio behind games like Marvel's Avengers and Tomb Raider.


Xbox-owned The Initiative studio is currently being helmed by former Crystal Dynamics studio head. Perfect Dark game director Daniel Neuburger has been in charge of Tomb Raider series in past and is very excited to work together again.

In a similar statement, Crystal Dynamics have also expressed their joy of bringing Perfect Dark to a newer generation. Despite being a first-party title, upcoming first-person spy thriller series revival for Xbox now becomes a joint operation.


Microsoft has launched The Initiative studio in 2018 to develop "AAAA" games for Xbox family of consoles and it started with Perfect Dark, a beloved series featuring protagonist Joanna Dark by Rare Studio, which debuted on Nintendo 64.

Perfect Dark cinematic trailer doesn't reveal much regarding upcoming reboot and what Agent Dark is up to these days. The Initiative didn't reveal much about upcoming reboot but teased of global conspiracies and evil mega-corporations.
