Say what you will about this ongoing trend of reviving older classics, but we're all for it. These new releases are a great way for gamers to relive older gaming memories while also reintroducing beloved franchises to a new generation of gamers. Case in point, Perfect Dark. However, it appears that the reveal last year was a bit premature and that the game is having development troubles.
According to Video Games Chronicle, a closer look at the LinkedIn profiles of former The Initiative staff members reveals that at least half of the studio's employees have left in the past year. With less than 50 employees remaining, The Initiative is not in a good place. Furthermore, Video Games Chronicle reached out to former senior developers, who explained that The Initiative suffered terribly from a "lack of creative autonomy and slow development progress."
Interestingly enough, despite the evidence pointing otherwise, The Initiative is confident that it can push through as it is.
TLDR; The Initiative is bleeding talent fast and the Perfect Dark reboot is having problems as a result.
