I mean, they better believe they have a huge hit on their hands because this thing is going to cost an enormous amount of money. AAA dev studios in Los Angeles aren’t cheap to run and this game has been in dev for 4 or 5 years at this point.
OTOH, it’s not a big studio, The Initiative. I didn’t know that until I read this article. 48 people currently for the whole company, and they’re currently hiring an IT person which will make it 49.
I also remember one of the leads tweeting that his kid was having fun playing a build two or three years ago. I’m just shaking my head at this.
If they think a Perfect Dark reboot is going to be a huge hit they are smoking crack.
