It’s been a long, long time since we learned that a Perfect Dark<\/em> reboot was in the works<\/a>, and there are finally some fresh signs of life. A gameplay trailer was shown during the Xbox Games Showcase, though there’s no release date or window as yet.<\/p>\n Xbox is billing the reboot as a “first-person secret agent thriller in a near-future world” that includes immersive sim and stealth-action elements. Based on this first look, co-developers The Initiative and may have nailed the brief.<\/p>\n The clip shows Joanna Dark dropping into a near-future version of Cairo in search of a bad guy who possesses a radioactive device. She’s able to capture goons’ voice prints to open voice-activated door locks, and she can kick off walls to clamber up drain pipes and gain extra distance for jumps. Along with blasting enemies with guns, Joanna has some hand-to-hand combat skills too.<\/p>\n According to an Xbox Wire <\/em>blog post<\/a>, you’ll have a range of traversal abilities and gadgets at your disposal, so you’ll be able to choose how to complete missions. I’m just a little bummed that there was no sign of a laptop gun.<\/p>\n The blog post also notes that “at the widest level, Perfect Dark <\/em>will be a single-player experience.” That could be a hint that there will be multiplayer modes too. I have my fingers crossed for that, as the original Perfect Dark <\/em>was a better multiplayer shooter than Goldeneye 007<\/em>.<\/p>\n Catch up on all of the news from Summer Game Fest 2024 <\/em>right here<\/em><\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
