Velvet Dark was planned as a “sister” game to Perfect Dark
Back in the day, Rare had plans to create a follow-up to Perfect Dark. Velvet Dark would have acted as a “sister” game to the N64 title, according to former staffer Gregg Mayles.
Mayles shared a photo of Velvet Dark’s design document on Twitter earlier today:

@SubDrag N64 if I remember rightly.

Mayles indicated that Velvet Dark would have been an N64 title, but there’s some debate about that. This is a very interesting piece of gaming history in any case!
