Microsoft gave Perfect Dark’s developers a chance to save the game — after it was already canceled
SMRTR summary
Microsoft canceled Perfect Dark but gave Crystal Dynamics a chance to save it. The revival attempt collapsed when Embracer Group and Take-Two couldn't agree on who would own the franchise long-term, leading to layoffs at Crystal Dynamics. Unlike Microsoft's successful deal to save Hi-Fi Rush by selling Tango Gameworks to Krafton, Perfect Dark remains canceled as Microsoft was unwilling to relinquish rights to the franchise it acquired with Rare in 2002.
