Microsoft today announced it is laying off upwards of 9,100 employees, including at the Xbox division. Perfect Dark, Everwild, and an MMORPG from ZeniMax Online Studios have been cancelled, and developer The Initiative is being shut down.
Perfect Dark has been called a “long-troubled project” by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier.
Insider Shinobi on ResetEra claims the Perfect Dark gameplay demo was mostly “smoke and mirrors.”
