The Agency

Major Downsizing Occurs At SOE, Bad News If You're A Fan Of The Agency

The past year or so has given us some major surprise studio closures and project cancellations, a few of which no one saw coming.  Occasionally it’s to be expected when a game gets pushed back a few times or layoffs are issued at a studio like Electronic Arts, but when a project is canned like True Crime: Hong Kong, a resounding wave of “WTF” is heard amongst the gaming masses.

SOE gives us an update on The Agency and other MMO news

After going deep under cover i.e. it went dark due to the process that is developing a game, The Agency from Sony Online Entertainment may finally be ready for its latest mission: hitting retail.  In an interview with Eurogamer, SOE President John Smeldey confirmed that The Agency is indeed on track for a 2011 release. When the game will release in the year is anyone’s guess as Smeldey said “We're not giving out a specific date yet because we don't know it.”

SOE finally releases the spy MMO The Agency for...

A few years ago Sony Online Entertainment unveiled a new Spy themed MMO called The Agency.  With a focus on action and making players feel like James Bond while still maintaining that MMO feel, there was a nice amount of interest in The Agency.  But I guess The Agency’s license to kill was revoked as we haven’t heard much of anything about it recently. Rumors that the game was cancelled were quickly squashed by SOE but the game still hasn't left its secret lair yet.
