The return of a cult video game
If you’re old enough to have played on the Nintendo 64, you probably remember the heyday of the first multiplayer FPS games. While everyone often cites the excellent Goldeneye 007 as the spearhead of this period, another game had impacted just as many people a few decades ago: Perfect Dark. At the time, the game took the form of a first-person shooter in which you could play the role of Joanna Dark aka Perfect Dark, a young 23-year-old spy and member of the elite forces. While the last opus of the saga was released on Xbox 360, the latter is finally officially back.
Indeed, during the Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft bet big by offering an entire sequence of several minutes dedicated to the return of Perfect Dark. In order to attract as many players as possible, this new opus will obviously take the form of a reboot. You will thus be able to discover this universe without ever having played it before, a real positive point given the number of years we had to wait before hearing from Joanna Dark.
First-person infiltration and lots of gadgets
Of course, the very essence of Perfect Dark seems to have been preserved in this reboot. Thus, players will always have to control the same character (although with a different design), all at the same time. first person. As before, the emphasis seems to be placed on theinfiltrationbut also on the plethora of gadgets that our spy can use to carry out her missions.
Scenario-wise, it’s still a little early to know all the details, but Microsoft is talking about a tense geopolitical context in which the Earth has suffered numerous disasters. Joanna Dark is then called to hunt down the most wanted criminal on the planet: a certain Daniel Carrington. The latter hides secrets that could threaten the lives of millions of people, but agent Perfect Dark intends to unearth them using his expertise. Unfortunately, the Perfect Dark reboot has not yet given a release date, so you will have to be patient.
