The development team working on the Perfect Dark reboot for Microsoft has lost a number of staffers in the past year, but top brass at the studio, The Initiative, remains confident in the team and the game.

VGC discovered through LinkedIn that about 34 people have left The Initiative in the past year, including game director Dan Neuburger and design director Drew Murray. Numerous other staffers across a variety of disciplines also left the team in the past 12 months, it was discovered.

The staffing losses in the past year coincide with the announcement that Crystal Dynamics has been brought on as a co-developer on the Perfect Dark reboot.
