It's basically the Invasion concept from Dark Souls , but against a friend instead of a random griefer, and it could become a signature feature of the new Perfect Dark currently brewing at The Initiative.The secret's out. Only a few other games have toyed around with combining single-player and multiplayer in this way. Either a copy of Counter-Op or a similar mode done online could be just as revolutionary in 2021 as it was back in the '90s. Since Perfect Dark released on the Nintendo 64, players experienced this mode solely through split-screen, which isn't ideal for a mode all about surprising the Joanna Dark player.

This set Player One up as Joanna Dark playing through the regular campaign while Players 2 took on the role of an NPC in the level. In addition to a single-player and co-op campaign and a full deathmatch suite, the game also had the unique Counter-Op mode. Despite these changes, there are definitely a handful of ideas from the previous games that simply must move forward into the new era of Perfect Dark.Īnother way that Perfect Dark feels ahead of its time is in its variety of available modes. A deathmatch suite might have been a must-include the last two times the franchise released, but it simply isn't in a world of massive free-to-play titles like Fortnite. The Initiative will also likely think long and hard about the game's multiplayer component. A new Perfect Dark would certainly adopt a standard modern shooter control scheme that streamlines some of the rough edges of the previous games. With that in mind, there are plenty of elements that haven't held up since the days of the N64 and the launch of the Xbox 360. Related: Everything We Know About Perfect Dark's Reboot
The original Perfect Dark draws on the strong foundation of GoldenEye 007 and later inspired the TimeSplitters series, and one has to imagine that The Initiative wants their Perfect Dark to evoke some of that immense legacy.
With only a single teaser trailer to go off of, players have to assume that the reboot will at least partially continue on in the shooter tradition set up by the previous two games. There has even been some question as to whether the new Perfect Dark is a pure action FPS or a hybrid experience that draws on games like Hitman for inspiration. To start with, not much is known about how The Initiative will modernize Joanna Dark's adventures for a modern audience.
