After the official announcement at The Game Awards that The Initiative was working on a new Perfect Dark, we haven’t received much official information. However, we can find a large amount of information online. These are all the theories and rumors about the new Xbox exclusive Perfect Dark. The Initiative is one of the Xbox Game Studios with more talents. In fact, it is one of the most talented studios in the video game industry. The Initiative would start in 2018 a wave of hires from several notable developers triple A games to work on your “AAAA” game.
Microsoft had spent the past two years hiring high-profile developers. Which should make us think about the quality of the video game they could be preparing. Perfect Dark was once a third party that Rare Ltd. It had released on the Nintendo 64, but since Microsoft acquired Rare back in 2002, Perfect Dark has been exclusive to Xbox. Only one Xbox-exclusive Perfect Dark game, as well as a remaster of the original game, has been released since the acquisition of the Rare studio.

All the theories and rumors about the new Xbox exclusive Perfect Dark
One of them was in charge of leaking information about the game before announcing itself, saying on his LinkedIn page that the game had several weapons, devices and a camera surveillance system. Many took those details as a surefire sign that The Initiative’s game would be a Perfect Dark entry, and they certainly weren’t wrong. In an interview after the game’s official announcement, Game Director Dan Neuburger specifically described the game as reinventing Perfect Dark, which matches the futuristic setting shown in the trailer.
When it comes to rumors and leaks specifically citing Perfect Dark, there really isn’t much to tell. It’s clearly under wraps, and it’s all really known from the reveal at the Game Awards, where he simply listed the game as Perfect Dark, so it’s clearly going to be a main sequel to the franchise. Outside of that, many of the reports on the game cited things like the action adventure genre, very detailed animation work (in this case compared to Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us), and a lot of visual flair taking advantage of the graphical power. for Xbox Series X.
There have also been rumors that the game will specifically run on next-gen Unreal Engine 5 technology. That’s where the Initiative’s nickname “AAAA” comes from, which is basically a representative name for how expensive the game is to develop. Given the Perfect Dark is an iconic shooter series that was on par with Goldeneye On the Nintendo 64, it’s fitting that Microsoft put a ton of resources behind the development of the studio.
Rockstar will not neglect single player experiences for Grand Theft Auto
Microsoft and Xbox Game Studios have been positioning the The Initiative game as its biggest new title coming to the next generation of Xbox. And if things go well, we could be seeing a new definitive icon born to represent the Xbox brand, alongside the Master Chief. The eco-sci-fi adventure seems vastly different from Joanna Dark’s previous alien-infused adventures. Xbox-exclusive Perfect Dark also appears to be perfecting the spy action game, a subgenre that has long been abandoned by franchises like Splinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid.
