Xbox's Gamescom 2021 did not show anything involved with Perfect Dark.
She's previously worked as a producer on God of War, Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order and World of Warcraft.Ĭhris Dring from spoke of Perfect Dark's release date during a VGC Off The Record podcast, claiming that the game is "so far away." He suggests that there could even be a new Xbox model (mid-tier upgrade) by the time it comes out. Rhonda Cox recently joined The Initiative as Senior Producer.
However, this should be nothing to fear, as he claims he left the company for personal reasons. The Little Mermaid, directed by Rob Marshall, opens in theaters nationwide on May 26, 2023.Design Director Drew Murray is also no longer with the company, as he's now returning to Insomniac Games. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land, but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters, and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea, and while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. The Little Mermaid is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The film stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, Daveed Diggs as the voice of Sebastian, Jacob Tremblay as the voice of Flounder, Awkwafina as the voice of Scuttle, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Art Malik as Sir Grimsby, Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina, Javier Bardem as King Triton, and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula. The report's sources suggest that the large change in staff and the inclusion of Crystal Dynamics may well have triggered an internal soft reboot of Perfect Dark, and that a final release could well still be years away.Ĭheck out the teaser trailer for The Little Mermaid, the upcoming live-action reimagining of the animated musical classic. “We wish all our former colleagues the very best, and I’m confident in the team we have in place, the new talent joining, and we can’t wait to share more with the fans.” In a statement to VGC, Gallagher (who remains as studio head at The Initiative) said, "In this journey, it’s not uncommon for there to be staffing changes, especially during a time of global upheaval over the last two years, and there’s plenty more work in front of us to deliver a fantastic Perfect Dark experience to our players. Gallagher and Neuburger were previously studio head and game director respectively at Crystal Dynamics, and It was hoped that a team familiar with their management methods would work well with them. VGC's sources claim that the culture problem was part of the reason for bringing Crystal Dynamics on board as a collaborator studio. “Making games is hard enough, let alone when you feel like you can’t get through to people making the decisions that affect everyone," one source said. The alleged result of this was a project that developed "painfully" slow and a lack of company culture. Staff apparently felt unheard by their seniors on issues such as development priorities, project planning, and team staffing. It was apparently built as a top-down hierarchy, starting with Neuburger and studio head Darrell Gallagher, who heavily dictated the creative decisions. Reasons given for staff departures predominantly include a feeling that the studio was not a collaborative place to work. VGC's interviews with former Initiative staff suggests that the departures have come "fast and furious", something that has impacted the momentum of the project. Additionally, VGC notes that two senior writers recently left, as well as the technical director, technical art director, lead gameplay engineer, lead animation, quality assurance lead, and more. Game director Dan Neuburger appears to have left the team this year, and previous departures include design director Drew Murray, lead level designer Chris O’Neill, principal world builder Jolyon Myers, and several more from the core team. It notes that around 34 people have quit within the last year, including much of the senior design team. The report from VGC is complied from interviews with unnamed ex-Initiative employees and analysis of the studio's structure.
