Perfect Dark Joanna Dark actor calls for a Hi-Fi Rush-style revival after Microsoft cancels the reboot, as Starfield and Deus Ex star reveals his scrapped role will cost him "thousands of dollars"

Perfect Dark.

As Joanna Dark's new actress calls for someone to save Perfect Dark, the voice actor for Deus Ex's Adam Jensen has revealed that he was meant to have a role in the now-canceled reboot, and will lose out on "thousands of dollars" due to it being scrapped.

As a part of Microsoft's fourth batch of layoffs since the Microsoft Activision deal went through, developer The Initiative has been closed and its Perfect Dark reboot has been canceled, alongside Rare's Everwild and apparently a new MMO from Zenimax Online Studios, too. We only had one real look at Perfect Dark with a snazzy demo at last year's Xbox Showcase (for which a developer has since come out and dispelled rumors that it was faked gameplay), and during that it was revealed that Cyberpunk 2077 and Dragon Age voice actor Alix Wilton Regan would be playing protagonist Joanna Dark.
