"We're excited to see Crystal Dynamics take these next steps with their studio. Our teams have made great progress in building Perfect Dark together as co-development partners, and we will be continuing this work with them in their next chapter," the studio writes.
News of Crystal Dynamics' continued involvement in the new Perfect Dark is not too surprising, as Embracer Group tends to be hands-off with its subsidiaries. Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors has encouraged the company's operating groups to remain separate, allowing them to continue a sort of "business as usual" approach, which is what we saw when the group purchased Dark Horse Media back in March. Given that, it makes sense that Crystal Dynamics would still have the opportunity to work on Perfect Dark alongside The Initiative.
While The Initiative is a relatively new studio, the team consists of several industry veterans, many of which have past connections with Crystal Dynamics; The Initiative's founder is Darrell Gallagher, who was previously the head of Crystal Dynamics. When it was announced that the two companies would be working together on Perfect Dark, the partnership made a lot of sense, and it seemed like a good sign for the new game. It remains to be seen how the Xbox exclusive will turn out, but hopefully the two teams will be able to create something special for long-time fans and newcomers alike.
