Microsoft revealed a long look at its ambitious, long-in-development reboot of the Perfect Dark franchise on Sunday at the Xbox Games Showcase, revealing the first gameplay from secret agent Joanna Dark’s all-new adventure.
The new Perfect Dark will focus on “a near-future war over advanced tech that threatens the lives of millions,” said Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty. As Dark, players will need to use stealth, parkour, high-tech gadgetry, and good old-fashioned firearms to fend off global disaster.
Perfect Dark is being developed by The Initiative and Crystal Dynamics for Xbox Series X and Windows PC. The game does not have an announced release date.
Wolverine ps5 game creative Director is now leading the game. Read from gamefile:
Two major upcoming first-party video games have gotten big changes at the top, as part of an unusual leadership shuffle, Game File has learned.
Brian Horton, who was publicly named as the creative director of Sony/Insomniac’s upcoming Marvel’s Wolverine PS5 game in 2021, has been off the project since the summer, two sources familiar with the matter told Game File.
The game is now being helmed by creative director Marcus Smith, a rep for Sony Interactive Entertainment has confirmed to Game File. Mike Daly will serve as Wolverine’s new game director.
(Wolverine’s previously announced game director, Cameron Christian, will remain at the studio in a different role, Game File understands.)
Smith and Daly are a formidable new duo for Wolverine. They previously held creative director and game director roles, respectively, on Insomniac’s acclaimed 2021 PS5 release Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
The changes atop the Wolverine development team are the result of creative decisions around the game, the two sources told Game File. SIE’s rep declined to comment on the reason for the role changes on Wolverine.
He’s the new creative director of the Xbox-published Perfect Dark, the highly-anticipated first-person shooter that is being co-developed by Microsoft’s The Initiative and Embracer-owned Crystal Dynamics. Horton will be “bringing his wealth of experience to the upcoming reboot of the classic secret agent series,” an Xbox rep confirmed to Game File.
