SEGA and Obsidian have announced that Alpha Protocol will be released on 28th May in Europe.

Alpha Protocol is a third-person action RPG in which CIA agent Michael Thorton works to uncover a conspiracy that put him on a US government hit list.

As well as ploughing Advancement Points into a range of skills to improve Thorton's abilities, which include firearms and hand-to-hand combat techniques, Alpha Protocol allows you to plot your own way through conversations by adopting a particular attitude when speaking to somebody.

Check out our Alpha Protocol preview from last year for more information, and look out for a more in-depth hands-on feature around this time next month.
