Alpha Protocol dated News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

Late May release for spy RPG.

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.

This could be good, but one week later than Alan Wake and LP2. Not the best move imo.

I'll still be playing LP2, if that doesn't slip.

I think I'm more excited for this than the rest of EG put together.

Dare I dream that Sega will finally fulfil their promise to actually release this game?

I also have this on preorder for a really long time. I don't mind the delays really, I wish Obsidian can get to show us their best and finalize it as they intend with no publisher rush bullshit.

Really looking forward to this, have been since the first trailers began doing the rounds way back when.

I'm just curious as to whether or not we're going to be offered the same pre-order bonuses as the Americans?

If this is good, will it be the first Obsidian title that actually lives up to its promise?

Looking forward to it. Obsidian have some potential. KotOR 2 was great IMO and had Lucas Arts allowed them more time to finnish the game it would have been awesome.

Really looking forward to this one, I've played loads of fantasy and sci-fi based RPGs so having one that's set in the "real world" should be an interesting change of pace.

Can't wait, that's a little bit earlier than the mooted "June 2010" that's been around since it was pushed back. A decent amount of time after Splinter Cell Conviction too, so they shouldn't clash.

Alan Wake though... hmm. Lost Planet 2 on the other hand can forget about it.

This looks like the *real* successor to Deus Ex. Or so I'm hoping...

Here's hoping the extra time they put into this will have paid off. I was quite disappointed with Mass Effect 2 so I'm hoping this will engage me more.
