The Perfect Dark Cancellation Hits Harder Than Most
The 2024 gameplay trailer for Perfect Dark from The Initiative looked incredible.
Perfect Dark has been cancelled. The FPS reboot, which was in development since 2018, died yesterday with its developer, The Initiative. It was just one casualty in a day of sweeping layoffs at Microsoft. More than 9,000 employees have been cut, and the bloodbath also reportedly claimed Everwild, the next game from Sea of Thieves developer Rare, with deep cuts at Zenimax and King, too. Given the sheer number of layoffs we’ve already seen this year, it adds up to a dark present and unclear future for the games industry.
