An icon of the latter years of the Nintendo 64, first developed during an era when Rare and Nintendo went hand-in-hand, the Perfect Dark series went with them when Microsoft acquired the development studio - and outside some Xbox ports, the franchise remained dormant for more than two decades. While not developed by Rare, Microsoft has enlisted the development teams at The Initiative and Crystal Dynamics to completely reboot the franchise, with years of work now culminating in this first gameplay trailer. The new trailer showed us Joanna’s descent into the game’s Cairo setting, offered us a glimpse at the mysteries behind this near-future ecological sci-fi story, and introduced us to a game that blends fluid traversal, gadgets, close-quarters combat, gunplay, stealth, and more to create the ultimate secret agent experience.
