Development on Perfect Dark is not going as smoothly as one might hope. According to the most recent rumors, the development of the title could have been restarted after the emergence of creative differences by some members of the studio. Additionally, a host of developers, including some key players like the game director himself, have recently left the company.
Now, according to Jez Corden, one of the members of Windows Centerwe can know the possible reason why the developers of Perfect Dark would have left the study.

According to Corden, this huge exodus of employees at The Initiative has been caused by the arrival of Crystal Dynamics to the development of the title. Within the original studio, there were two thoughts among the employees about how the development of the game and the studio should work. Some advocated hiring new staff and expanding the studio, while others wanted to remain a small studio making AA games.
For its part, Microsoft wanted the studio to expand to a level that would allow the development of high-budget games, which led to the entry of Crystal Dynamics in the development of the title.

We hope that this title can get to fruition, even if it is necessary to wait longer than we would have initially imagined. Another Xbox Game Studios title, Everwild, developed by Rare in this case, is going through a similar situation.
