Microsoftin superstudio The Initiativen yksi kova tekijä on ollut Drew Murray, jonka aiempina näyttöinä ovat olleet The Resistance -sarja ja Sunset Overdrive. Hän liittyi mukaan The Initiativeen sitä perustettaessa vuonna 2018 nimikkeellä "design director", ja on siitä asti työstänyt uutta Perfect Dark -peliä.
Nyt sitten Murray on lähtenyt nostelemaan, koska elämä työn ulkopuolella tarvitsee lisähuomiota. Toivottavasti alan veteraani palaa vielä joskus tulevaisuudessa.
"After two wild years helping start @TheInitiative @Xbox and rebooting #PerfectDark, it's time for me to say a tearful and bittersweet goodbye to my team at The Initiative.After two wild years helping start @TheInitiative @Xbox and rebooting #PerfectDark, it's time for me to say a tearful and bittersweet goodbye to my team at The Initiative. It's been extraordinary working shoulder-to-shoulder with such a talented and experienced team, many of whom are great friends now, but my life outside of work needs more attention and headspace than I have been able to give it lately, so I'm stepping down from my role.
Mystery surrounded the project when I joined the studio - I didn't know what kind of game it was, I didn't know it was going to be Perfect Dark, and I didn't know anyone on the team. Two years later, we announced the franchise with a trailer that still gives me goosebumps. Most importantly, the team has the vision and talent to knock the game and franchise out of the park. My silver lining to all this is that I'm excited to join the screaming masses on Perfect Dark launch day to experience the game!"
