One of the games we're most excited about here at Pure Xbox is the upcoming Perfect Dark title by The Initiative.
We're not the only ones, either. Our friends over at Time Extension recently had the chance to chat with Eveline Novakovic - Joanna Dark's original voice actor - about the new game. Although it's unclear if the character will be reprising her English roots, the VA is incredibly excited about her return:
Here's exactly what she had to say to Time Extension:
"The prospect of a new chapter to Perfect Dark is an exciting one. Technology has moved on so far since the original came out, and with this, there's an enviable freedom."
"The trailer is a tantalizing hint of what will no doubt be an expansive and breathtakingly cinematic feast of the senses. As for the voice of Joanna, I am delighted if she’s returned to her English roots."
Novakovic was eventually replaced by voice actress Laurence Bouvard for the Xbox 360 prequel, Perfect Dark Zero.
The development of the new Perfect Dark game has been very hush-hush so far, but some recent developments include the game's director departing the development studio back in March of this year, as well as the news that Crystal Dynamics would be assisting on the project last October.
The Perfect Dark remaster was sold as a standalone game, and also included in Rare Replay. Do you still play the remaster of the original from time to time? Looking forward to the new entry? Leave a comment down below.

Don’t replay games much
But remember on the N64 really enjoying the Perfect Dark fps games.
Let’s hope she comes back in style.
I preferred Perfect Dark (N64) to Goldeneye. I think the story, the missions, the weapons and Multi-player were more 'creative' and inventive. Understandably as Goldeneye had to base itself on the Movie - something they captured very well for its time.
Perfect Dark Zero was 'OK', I can't really remember much about it now as far as the Story goes and didn't play the MP (I didn't bother getting Gold until the 360 era as I wasn't really interested in playing with 'Random' strangers' - particularly 'kids' as an Older gamer) but I did finish it.
I have 'no' feeling towards the new Perfect Dark. I can't get 'excited' by a CGi trailer or just the fact of knowing its in development (same with Fable too - another Franchise I loved). I am interested to see what they do with this Franchise and hope to see some 'familiar' aspects - the Laptop gun, Farsight etc but I prefer to wait until I have at least seen some actual game-play sequence (not cinematic game-play mixed in with cut-scenes etc - like BF2042 trailer - but a decent slice/look at the actual game-play we can expect) before I decide whether its something to be excited for (or not).
I'm definitely interested to find out more, looking forward to seeing actual game-play, but until then, I have a lot of games coming that I am excited to play whilst Crystal Dynamics and the Initiative continue to work on this project...
"Hello, we spoke to someone who has no idea about the game"...its literally all I got from that.
This game is probably at the very least 2 years away still. Best to forget about it today.
Perfect Dark is probably my most re-played game ever. The level design was excellent. You really had to learn the level layouts to complete your objectives. Really hoping this new one will be the same style of game, and not just COD featuring Joanna Dark
Talk about a blast from the past.
