In July this year, as part of Xbox's major layoffs, Microsoft cut off the "Perfect Dark: Reboot" that had been developed for many years (difficult) and closed its developer The Initiative.Of course, the games involved are not only "Perfect Dark: Reboot", but also "Everwild" from Rare Studios and the Avalanche Studios cooperative game "Contraband".

After the game was cancelled, controversial details about the restarted version surfaced.It is worth noting that there are reports that the 2024 trailer is "essentially fake" and does not represent the final game content.However, a level designer who participated in the game later stated that while the trailer does contain “false content,” the clips do come from a truly playable demo version.

This aroused the curiosity of foreign media MP1st. They found some files of "Perfect Dark: Reboot Edition", exposed the gameplay details of the work, and the art design gallery.

The document begins with an emphasis on "Perfect Dark: Reboot" will take advantage of the opportunities of the "Secret Agent" game genre.The game team believes that due to the lack of large-scale spy game series such as Metal Gear and 007, there is a clear gap in the market, but ironically, these two series are now making a comeback.

The creative vision is to reimagine the series while retaining the core genes of the original game (Nintendo 64).The main inspiration for this approach was from the HBO series Westworld, which successfully reimagined classics to suit modern audiences while exploring entirely new themes and concepts.

The documentation also shows that The Initiative has been actively developing the game's "Vertical Slice 1" until at least April this year.In game development, "Vertical Slice 1" refers to playable proof of concept, which can demonstrate the quality and experience of the final game.The documentation also mentions that this vertical slice belongs to "Season 1", which may confirm previous reports about the game's planned release in chapter form.

For gameplay, several concept systems are mentioned in the documentation, such as the "ruthless system" and the "reward system", but only one of them is elaborated in depth.This is the “adrenaline system”, which treats adrenaline as a resource where players can regenerate adrenaline over time and impart it with various powerful abilities.These abilities include healing, increasing damage done to enemies, or reducing incoming damage.It also designed functions such as slowing down time to avoid bullets, aiming more accurately, and even increasing movement speed.Killing multiple enemies in a fast and continuous manner can extend this slowing effect and potentially activate special execution animations.In addition to giving the protagonist Joanna special abilities, the adrenaline system also makes obvious changes to her appearance.

The gallery contains conceptual images of the scheduled locations in Season 1, such as cities like Cairo that appear in the game trailer, as well as other futuristic scenes.The documentation calls this aesthetic style “ecological science fiction”, which combines futuristic design with a regenerative green environment.

It is really a pity to see these game scenes that have been created with a lot of effort, but they are destined to never be released.What is even more regrettable is that it actually had a "second chance".According to Bloomberg, Take-Two had negotiated with Microsoft and Embracer Group to provide funding for the game, but the negotiations eventually broke down, nailing the project's coffin board.

Eventually, the IP of "Perfect Dark" will also be added to Microsoft's long "Dormant" series, and fans can only continue to wait for when it will be reawakened.
