One of the most promising Microsoft studios today is The Initiative as it is full of great acquaintances from the video game industry. His first major project will be the return of Perfect Dark, a title that aims to launch in 2023 and that, of course, would be exclusive to the Xbox Series X/S, also coming to PC. Little is known about the game that was presented in a first trailer and reported that Crystal Dynamics helped in its development. However, now it could have been revealed that Perfect Dark It is presented as a game as a service.
Crystal Dynamics’ lead producer’s LinkedIn page shows Butler overseeing everything from production to build models. games as a service and the monetization of games, a role he plays in Marvel’s Avengers and, apparently, in Perfect Dark since last month. Although the game format that the project will adopt is unknown, certain rumors prior to its announcement indicated that the title would adopt a seasonal or episodic release model. In this way, many players are speculating that Perfect Dark will be released in the line of Hitman games from IO Interactive.
(Speculation) It looks like Perfect Dark maybe a GaaS game, according to Crystal Dynamics Lead Producer’s linkedin profile.
It maybe a similar style to the Hitman series

To give an example, the first Hitman of 2016 was released with three locations (Paris, Sapienza and Marrakech) with different story missions and additions. However, new missions and locations in Thailand, the United States, and Japan did not arrive until months after the game’s release, gradually being released as DLC that expanded the base game. Does Perfect Dark study this business model? Or will it be an episodic game such as games from Telltale Games or Life is Strange?
