Perfect Dark reboot canceled amid heavy Xbox layoffs, with developer The Initiative shuttered and Forza developer Turn 10 reportedly losing half its staff new features
Amid wide-ranging layoffs at Microsoft, Xbox’s Perfect Dark reboot has reportedly been canceled and its studio, The Initiative, shuttered. It’s also being reported that Forza Motorsport developer Turn 10 is losing roughly half its staff as a result of the downsizing.
Via Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, “Xbox is canceling the long-troubled project Perfect Dark and closing The Initiative.” This comes from an email sent by Microsoft’s president of game content and studios, Matt Booty, obtained by Bloomberg and other outlets.
Schreier also reports that “many of Xbox’s subsidiaries,” including Call of Duty maker Raven Software, have been hit with layoffs. In particular, Forza studio Turn 10 has reportedly lost roughly 50% of its staff.
