Perfect Dark reboot and new Zenimax MMORPG reportedly cancelled as part of latest Microsoft cuts


The reboot of Perfect Dark developed by The Initiative has been cancelled as part of the latest round of cuts at Microsoft.

It showed protagonist Joanna Dark stealthily exploring a near-future Cairo in first-person, with plenty of parkour and spy gadgets. No release window was given for the game and, now, it appears development troubles have continued, leading to its cancellation. The original Perfect Dark was released on the N64 by Rare as a spiritual successor to its successful GoldenEye game.
