Defining Duke, Episode 244 | It was almost SAVED... - The Truth On Perfect Dark
Added 2025-09-04 16:00:20 +0000 UTCToday in news that we wish we never knew about: Xbox's reboot of Perfect Dark was nearly saved! Their dance partner? Take Two Interactive who serves as publisher of Rockstar. Yes, indeed, a recent report states that these two were working out a deal similar to Xbox selling off Tango Gameworks alongside the Hi Fi Rush IP to Krafton in order to help the company. Unfortunately, a falling out between both sides occurred over an IP ownership dispute. Now, Perfect Dark is doomed to sit in "IP Jail" with many of Xbox's other abandoned properties. At least Banjo has some company now.

The perfect dark situation is such a bummer. At least we have 007 to look forward to.

I didn't know I needed that in my life Imagine that poor person getting the assignment to write that. LoL New segment idea. Worst games media journalist take of the week...month? Absolute gold. #InTheDarkDD
