Perfect Dark: the Design Director leaves The Initiative studio

Drew Murray was the Design Director di The Initiative for about two years, precisely from 2018, and since then he has been involved in the development of the new chapter of Perfect Dark, the dusting off of the historic IP starring the redhead Joanna dark. But today Murray found himself forced to to leave the development team with a post published su Twitter, according to him, because of personal matters to whom he seems to want to turn his attention from now on. However, with gods Comments ha reassured fans on the fate of the reboot of Perfect Dark, implying that it is in good hands.

In fact, the announcement by The Initiative on the Perfect Dark reboot is still fresh, just two months have passed since the release of the first short debut trailer, and the abandonment of an important figure such as that of Design Director created moments of dismay among fans to which Murray responded among other things:

Two years later (joining the team) we announced the franchise with a trailer that still gives me goosebumps. More importantly, the team has the vision and talent to (bring out) the game and the franchise.

The Initiative seems to have a very high budget project funded entirely by Microsoft products, which defined it as an “AAAA” project present in the Xbox Game Studios. In fact, Perfect Dark should go to deal, at least according to the developers, with titles that have had dizzying funding such as Red Dead Redemption II e Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, if not a overcome them for the impressive size of the investments that have been reserved for the game. However, we must point out that obviously the only one amount of money spent it does not automatically certify the quality of the reboot of Perfect Dark, but certainly manages to make us understand the scale of the work of the team that Drew Murray was a part of.

After two wild years helping start @TheInitiative @Xbox and rebooting #PerfectDark, it's time for me to say a tearful and bittersweet goodbye to my team at The Initiative.
