Perfect Dark reboot faces significant development delays, release years away.
TL;DR
Microsoft's Perfect Dark reboot, developed by The Initiative, has reportedly made "little meaningful progress" since its 2020 unveiling due to a lack of clear vision and direction, leading to multiple setbacks and over 35 staff departures. Crystal Dynamics was brought in to assist in 2021, but the project had to be reworked from scratch, and it is still in pre-production and roughly two to three years away from release.
