Crystal Dynamics and Eidos CEO Phil Rogers during Embracer Group's latest earnings call said development on the Perfect Dark reboot is going well.
"We’re working on the iconic Perfect Dark game and the project is going extremely well," said Rogers (via VideoGamesChronicle).
"What's been so promising internally is seeing how our team took on this opportunity, a new way of working. If we think about the future of how we work, collaboration across studios, across time zones, across geographies, across different companies, will all become more common, so it is great to see the team at The Initiative and our team across Crystal studios working so well together."
Perfect Dark is being co-developed by the first-party Xbox studio, The Initiative, as well as Crystal Dynamics, who was recently acquired by Embracer Group.
Perfect Dark is in development for the Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Crystal Dynamics is one of my favorite devs of all time. Can't wait for this game :)
I just wanna see gameplay footage! ^^
The way it is written and asked would make you believe they are lead for the development.
CD is doing the brunt work of development. The Initiative is the creative leadership aspect of the game telling CD what to make. The Initiative is only 49 employees in total.
More or less, Apple designs and makes the how-to documents of making an iPhone in California, then China takes Apple's designs and actually builds the iPhone.
Gotcha, then it makes a lot of sense. And since more me the direction is more relevant to how the end product will look up (even if manpower is also very important) it is a The Initiative game.
I thought they cancelled it.
I’ll have a wait and see attitude on this, but I do hope it a great game capable of scoring in the high 70s
Only 5 more years untill we see gameplay
Gameplay when?
Hopefully in 3 weeks :)
crosses my fingers I have high hopes CD and The Initiative will do great things on this game.
I wouldn't bet on it. Feels a bit soon to be seeing it, wasn't development pretty much rebooted when Crystal Dynamics got brought in?
Uhh.. i thought this was a AAA studio The Initiative game... why is Crystal Dynamics coming out to say the game is developing well.. what a mess.
The initiative truly didn't take the initiative on this one hahaha
