Perfect Dark will be getting a new game update soon and the new perfect Dark game will be co-developed by Crystal Dynamics, the Square Enix studio which has given us the recent Tomb Raider trilogy, Marvel’s Avengers, and Gex. This annocunenet was made today by the game’s primary studio.
“We are partnering with Crystal Dynamics, the world-class team behind character-driven games such as Tomb Raider, to bring this first-person spy thriller to a new generation. The teams couldn’t pass up a chance to work together. We’re still early in development, but incredibly excited to use this unique opportunity to deliver on the vision for Perfect Dark!”
The Initiative is a new Los Angeles-based studio, and though it has yet to release a game, the studio is headed by Darrell Gallagher, who has spent ten years at Crystal Dynamics working across the Tomb Raider series.
The studio’s Daniel Neuburger has also previously worked for Crystal Dynamics, though the studio also boasts former talent from BioWare, Sony Santa Monica, Blizzard, and more.
Perfect Dark doesn’t have a release date or even a release window just yet, and it sounds like development had barely begun as of July.
“In the end and this’ll sound like maybe the wrong thing to say I don’t think it matters what path that we pick,” Xbox head Phil Spencer said in July regarding the game’s possible direction, “whether we decided to go back and reimagine Perfect Dark or do something new, I think the important thing is the quality of the execution and whether we deliver a delightful game that people love.”
