Rockstar Games removes Agent from its official games list

Rockstar Games’ Agent is 1 of those people vaporware wraiths any person with two brain cells knows is hardly ever gonna be released. But simply because AAA publishers can in no way give a straight reply when they cancel a project, supporters return the courtesy with needling mentions of their undead creations’ theoretical existence.

Seems like Rockstar experienced sufficient of that. Agent was quietly removed from the publisher’s formal web page, where by it had been — if only in name — since it was announced at Sony’s E3 2009 news conference. The moment again, we remind you that the license to kill is also a license to be killed.

We contacted a Rockstar Video games consultant and have been officially explained to no comment! That’s Alright, the truth the business deserted the Agent trademark in 2018 continue to does all of the talking.

If Agent is no extended on Rockstar’s list of every little thing-we’ve-done-and-are-carrying out, what are fans lacking out on? Agent always sounded like anything that now seems incompatible with the form of extensive-tail, blockbuster video games catalog parent enterprise Choose-Two Interactive expects from Rockstar. Agent was to have been a vintage console exceptional, for PlayStation 3, apparently as a complex single-player narrative with a swanky ’70s vibe.

Bethesda Softworks and Arkane Studios may possibly have created that perform just past thirty day period with Deathloop, but these points are no more time Strauss Zelnick’s cup of tea. Not in the age of Grand Theft Car Online, Crimson Useless On-line, and NBA 2K22’s MyPlayer.

So anyway, Agent’s nonetheless not verified, however not denied, and its authorities still denies all understanding of its whereabouts or functions. But for certain we’ll keep on to update this story when there’s a point out of Agent someplace, like on a wall of stars in Langley, subsequent to Half-Everyday living 3 and Past Good and Evil 2.
