Darrell Gallagher, the former head of The Initiative, has left Xbox, following the shuttering of the studio earlier this year. "I couldn’t be prouder of the talented and passionate team I had the privilege [to] assemble and lead," Gallagher wrote. Following his departure from Activision Blizzard, where he was senior vice president and head of development, Gallagher founded The Initiative, under the Xbox Game Studios umbrella, in April 2018. Windows Central reported that the studio was closed due to the cancellation of the Perfect Dark reboot. We did not make these choices lightly, as each project and team represent years of effort, imagination, and commitment."
