The recent Xbox Games Showcase was host to plenty of exciting trailers and surprising gameplay reveals, but one of the most unexpected parts of the show was the first footage of the new Perfect Dark. After an initial reveal in 2020, Perfect Dark has been mostly missing in action over the last 4 years, save for regular reports regarding the game's troubled development in the hands of new studio The Initiative. Veteran studio Crystal Dynamics was famously brought in to assist with development toward the end of 2021, and it appears its input has been invaluable. Perfect Dark looks to be one of the more promising first-party Xbox games in the company's release lineup.
