From Hopeful to Heartbroken: Joanna Dark Actor Alix Wilton Regan on Perfect Dark’s Cancellation

The legacy of Perfect Dark is so obvious that I almost shouldn’t write it. It was originally released in 2000 for the Nintendo 64 and alongside a Game Boy Color counterpart. Xbox acquired Rare, its studio, two years later in 2002, going on to produce Perfect Dark Zero in 2005 and a remaster in 2010. The IP was dead for ten years before a Perfect Dark reboot was announced in 2020, being led by a new studio called The Initiative.
