![]() Neuburger also stated, “Now we actually have the horsepower to go make this vision we have for the game.” Needless to say, the current generation hardware is indeed powerful and who knows what they can do with it? Shooting For Perfection Meanwhile, the game is being directed by Dan Neuburger who stated, “We’ve been sharpening our vision of what our game is and figuring out what is going to make it unique.” Even though the gameplay details are scarce, there are some nuggets of information that give fans a taste of what to expect. The studio is being spearheaded by Darrell Gallegher, who used to work for Crystal Dynamics. Some talent from Naughty Dog, Blizzard, Bioware, and Rockstar are working on this project. The developers that make up The Initiative come from top-tier teams within the gaming industry. It’s also a safe assumption that there will be dual-wielding, as well. She will be able to sprint, slide and leap over obstacles in the midst of a gunfight. The developers are planning on making her more nimble and having players control her with more mobility. The combat will still have the gunplay that the series is known for, but the developers want to make Joanna “feel” like a true secret agent. It’ll be more like a re-calibration of the series. They will be inserting new ideas with this title while keeping the core story elements intake. Shining Light In The DarkĪlthough this will be a “reboot”, the developers had made it clear that they’ll be respecting the past installments. Whether or not the Maians, Skedar, or any other alien race is involved with this plot is up in the air. The developers over The Initiative called this plot device “eco sci-fi.” If players watch the trailer carefully, they can see that this corporation is indeed dataDyne based on the logo on the building. There are massive floodings, storms, and fires spreading across the planet. ![]() This time, Joanna will be going against a corporation that is “eco-terrorists.” It appears that the world is dependant on new green technology that somehow went array. The reboot will still hold the same basic format that the other games had, but the plot is focused on a very different angle. It had everything from nifty gadgets, a blistering arsenal, white-knuckled action, and sci-fi elements. There’s no doubt that the world of Perfect Dark is teeming with potential. It all depends on what her next outing brings. A fresh take will probably cement her as the legendary character that she was destined to be. With this reboot recently announced, maybe the third time will be the charm for her? Joanna is long overdue with the recognition that she deserves. She is always kind of lurking in the shadows with all the other heroines out there. At least, not in the likes of Chun-Li, Sonya Blade, Samus, Zelda, or even Tracer. For whatever reason, she never really became a household name. She is this cool mix of Ethan Hunt and Lara Croft. As a character, Joanna Dark has a lot going for her. Even though the Perfect Dark games has its niche group of fans, it never really had the steam that Goldeneye and other first-person shooters had. Nobody saw it coming and it reminded people that Joanna Dark still has the same appeal as ever before. It is being developed by a new team called The Initiative, which was formed in 2018. VideoĪ little over 15 years later, the world nearly forgot about Joanna Dark until a trailer dropped during the Game Awards 2020. After this title was released, Joanna Dark went, well…dark. Even though this installment got mostly good reviews, it didn’t really reach the height of popularity of its predecessor. She had to stop dataDyne from getting a hold of a mystical device that grants superhuman powers to anyone that bears it. ![]() As the title suggests, this was an origin story showing how Joanna joins the Carrington Institute. In this installment, Joanna is a flourishing bounty hunter who was trained by her father. Later in 2005, another adventure for Joanna Dark came down the pike called Perfect Dark Zero for the Xbox 360. The story revolved around two warring alien races called the Maians the Skedar using Earth as their battleground. The story sprawled across towering cities, underground bases, Area 51, and even outer space. Perfect Dark is an FPS that’s about a secret agent named Joanna Dark who works with the Carrington Institute to unravel a conspiracy weaved by dataDyne. The developers’ clearly wanted to strike the iron while it was still hot, so they created their own IP. Perfect Dark was a gem that was developed by Rare and released on May 22, 2000, due to the fact of the insane popularity of Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64.
