Xbox's Perfect Dark faces major delays due to development struggles.

Xbox and The Initiative's reboot of Perfect Dark is reportedly not set to release until at least 2025 due to years of development struggles, including a fraught co-development partnership, pandemic-related issues, technological challenges, an ongoing exodus of significant talent, and unclear direction from management. The game has been in development limbo, with builds being thrown out and a decision to switch to Unreal Engine 5 resulting in the project needing to be essentially started over from scratch. The game now has stronger foundations, but it still has a long way to go.
