Microsoft has released the first gameplay trailer for Perfect Dark, which is viewable below.
The trailer premiered during the Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday, but it wasn’t accompanied by a launch window for the game.
“In the near future, Earth is struck by a series of global disasters, bringing ecosystems around the world to the verge of collapse,” Microsoft said of the game.
“In the all-new Perfect Dark game, you experience the journey of Joanna Dark, dataDyne’s elite agent, as she hunts down the world’s most wanted criminal, Daniel Carrington, to uncover the mysteries behind the technological breakthroughs that could threaten the lives of millions of people.”
The trailer showcases the game’s Cairo setting and offers an introduction to the ways in which it “blends fluid traversal, gadgets, close-quarters combat, gunplay, stealth, and more to create the ultimate secret agent experience”.
“We hope you enjoyed the first look at gameplay and we can’t wait to share more form the developers at The Initiative and Crystal Dynamics as the game progresses,” Matt Booty, Xbox’s president of game content and studios, said after the trailer aired.
While Project Dark was announced in 2020, until now nothing had been shown of it, following years of reported setbacks that have stalled development.
In June 2023, IGN reported that the reboot was “in the earliest stages” of development and was likely still 2-3 years away from release.
