The logo on the roof reveals this building to be dataDyne HQ. As the trailer ends, Joanna Dark has just cleared out (read: killed everyone inside) one of these green corps, and stands on the roof of the building, staring out as a lightning storm rages in the distance. In the trailer, we see a very lush, bountiful city in bloom, but also see parts of Earth ravaged by fires and destruction. The game is going to be an “eco sci fi,” where corporations (like dataDyne) have made the planet much greener and cleaner, but at a cost. We know the central character Joanna Dark-more on her below-is back too, so it makes sense that it’s following on from where the series left off. This new Perfect Dark is described as being set in the “near future,” so it takes place a little while after the last games, but not too long. The sequel, Perfect Dark Zero, was actually a prequel, so it’s the original Perfect Dark that will act as the jumping off point. As part of the story, you end up getting taken to the bad aliens' planet (the Skedar), where you defeat their leader, then fly away in a spaceship back to Earth. DataDyne want to use the alien tech for general early ‘00s evilness, and you have to stop them while working for Carrington. The alien war is actually secondary to the main plot, which is the battle between Carrington Institute (good guys) and dataDyne (bad guys).
