The industry is still feeling the aftershocks of Microsoft's decision to lay off thousands of staff in July, which came alongside multiple game cancellations. One of the most high-profile was the Perfect Dark reboot being co-developed by The Initiative, a studio that has now been closed, and Crystal Dynamics.
It turns out that, per a new Bloomberg report, Crystal Dynamics attempted to find a new publishing partner and funding for the game following its cancellation. A mooted deal with Take-Two would have seen it buy the game from Microsoft's Xbox division, fund the remaining development and then publish it.
