The Initiative is a new studio Microsoft formed in Santa Monica, California, to produce "AAAA" games. The team wants to produce Microsoft Exclusive on the level of God of War. While we don't know what the team is working on currently, do have some idea what some of the mechanics will be.

Today, Twitter's "Klobrille" noticed that on LinkedIn, a developer revealed that The Initiative's upcoming, unannounced game runs on Unreal Engine 4 and features "various weapons, gadgets, and a camera surveillance system." While weapons and gadgets are common in many games, the camera surveillance system sounds intriguing. In many ways, it reminds me of Watch Dogs, but since that franchise belongs to Ubisoft, it seems like either a new franchise or maybe a Perfect Dark reboot. Only time will tell.
