There is no question that this year’s Xbox Showcase has been pleasantly surprising opposed to Sony’s State of Play 2024 stream. Not only did we get to see trailers for games like Fable and DOOM: The Dark Ages but we also learned that Xbox Game Studios will be rebooting Perfect Dark also. Everyone knows that Perfect Dark was one of the most popular first-person shooter games on the N64 more than two decades ago along with Goldeneye 007. The trailer for the Perfect Dark reboot that we got at the Xbox Showcase exceeded many people’s expectations in relation to quality. The futuristic gadgets and cyberpunk look in the Perfect Dark reboot are among the few things that really stood out in the reveal trailer. Also, the parkour gameplay mechanic was a bonus because it reminds people of games like Mirror’s Edge and Dying Light 2. The new Perfect Dark reboot almost looks like a Deus Ex game from the 2010’s and the voice acting for Joanna Dark is top notch. The trailer saw the mention of the Carrington Institute but there was nothing concerning DataDyne which was a bit strange.

The first-person shooter gameplay for Perfect Dark looked sick and theme surrounding the “discovery” about the truth concerning the world we live in felt intriguing. The Perfect Dark Reboot is almost two decades in the making and its a shock especially since the project was considered to be dead several years ago. While the Perfect Dark reboot is clearly going to be on the Xbox Series X and possibly Steam the official release date for the game is still unclear. Xbox’s decision to revive the beloved IP has been one of the best decisions the company has made in the past several years and many people have high expectations for the Perfect Dark reboot once it comes out.
