“After two wild years of helping to start The Initiative on Xbox and reboot Perfect Dark, it’s time for me to say goodbye to my team at The Initiative,” Murray wrote. “It has been amazing to work side by side with such a talented and experienced team, many of whom are great friends now, but my life outside of work needs more attention and mental space than I have been able to give them lately. , so I withdraw from my role. “
“Mystery surrounded the project when I walked into the studio: I didn’t know what kind of game it was, I didn’t know it was going to be Perfect Dark and I didn’t know anyone on the team. Two years later, we announced the franchise with a trailer that still gives me goosebumps. More importantly, the team has the vision and talent to take the game and the franchise out of action. “
Despite this, the Perfect Dark project goes on. Perfect Dark is in development for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
After two wild years helping start @TheInitiative @Xbox and rebooting #PerfectDark, it's time for me to say a tearful and bittersweet goodbye to my team at The Initiative.
