During today's Xbox Showcase, Microsoft finally pulled back the curtain on the Perfect Dark reboot. The game marks the first new entry in the series since 2005's Perfect Dark Zero. Expectations are understandably high as a result, and today's showcase finally gave fans an idea how the game is coming along. In the trailer, series star Joanna Dark can be seen using stealth and gadgets to accomplish her goals, and all of the gameplay takes place from a first-person perspective.
The Perfect Dark franchise began life in 2000, on the Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color. Perfect Dark was once a Nintendo exclusive, but Microsoft obtained the rights to the series when it purchased Rare in 2002. In addition to Perfect Dark Zero for the Xbox 360, a remaster of the original Perfect Dark released on Xbox One in 2010. While Rare has done a lot with Xbox over the last 21 years, very few of the company's older IPs have been used over the last few years.
