Teasing us with some new information, Jack Tretton announced that Rockstar is developing a new title exclusively for the PS3: an international spy thriller calledAgent. Set in the dark world of the late 1970s (hey, that’s whenPeace Walkeris set!), this title will “take players around the globe.”
And that’s all that they’ve announced on the title. Much like theirResident Evilannouncement, details are scarce, but I’m sure we’ll be hearing more soon. Not surprisingly, Tretton said that the title will have the same level of desiriability ofGTA IV. Still, let’s see how things turn out.
And who knows, he could go on to fight Big Boss. He certainly is an international threat.
[Update:Rockstar has sent out a press release about Agent, with a few more details on the title. Check it out after the jump.]
