After several rumours that Microsoft and Xbox are about to shut down The Initiative, the internet is now full of reports claiming that this is actually a true story. As part of the huge layoff process that's been shaking Microsoft and Xbox lately, the worst fate fell upon the studio that was in charge of rebooting Perfect Dark. As it stands now, that's not going to happen because the entire studio will be shot down.
Apart from shutting down The Initiative and cancelling Perfect Dark Reboot, Xbox will no longer collaborate with Crystal Dynamics as well. All that information fell very hard on fans of Perfect Dark, who had been craving this reboot for a long time.
Oddly enough, Microsoft is still silent, not just about those events of shutting down The Initiative, cancelling Perfect Dark, and ending collaboration with Crystal Dynamics, but about all the layoffs that have been happening lately in this software and hardware behemoth.
For all uninformed, Perfect Dark is a first-person shooter from 2000, made for Nintendo 64. This game was very popular back in the day, and after Microsoft announced that their studio, The Initiative, will work on the reboot of this game, fans were very excited and happy.
The comments on the X platform where the news mostly broke down are kind of mixed, which is quite strange, to be honest. There are comments saying that those events will surely mark the end of Xbox because the console is already giving up its exclusives widely, while the others are even happy because the studio and the game in question ceased to exist, believing it won't be a disaster for the gaming world and we could be better off without such remakes and reboots.
