Very little is known about the game at this time, but you can get a brief look at what the revival has in store by checking out its debut trailer: What little else we know about this project besides the information made available in the trailer above comes from a brief pre-roll from The Initiative team that aired during The Game Awards. In it, the team revealed that Perfect Dark will feature a story that seemingly focuses on the global impact of corporate advancements. It seems that the environment took a big hit in the name of progress, but there was also a hint that we may get a peek into the more advanced world that emerged before that happened. Interestingly, it was also noted that Perfect Dark will feature first-person gameplay but it was strongly suggested that this upcoming title may not be a strict FPS. Could that mean that Perfect Dark will end up being a first-person RPG type of experience along the lines of games like Cyberpunk 2077? They’re certainly not the only ones expecting big things from The Initiative. The studio was formed as kind of a Microsoft super team, but it’s still shocking to hear that their first big project will seemingly be a revival of a largely beloved franchise that’s been dormant in the roughly 15 years since the game fell on its face a bit with the release of Perfect Dark Zero for the Xbox 360. The potential for this franchise is immense, but it remains to be seen where it goes from here.
