Alpha Protocol Announced
release announces plans for Alpha
Protocol, an espionage-themed RPG in the works at Obsidian Entertainment
slated for release on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 sometime next year:LONDON
(March 13th, 2007) –SEGA® Europe Ltd. and Obsidian Entertainment, Inc. today
announced a thrilling new espionage role-playing game set in the modern world -
Alpha Protocol™. Alpha Protocol is developed by the globally revered and genre
defining development studio, Obsidian Entertainment, known for smash hits such
as Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II: The Sith Lords and Neverwinter
Nights 2. This exciting new game will set the world alight on the Xbox 360®
video game and entertainment system, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment
system and Windows-based PCs in 2009.
“Alpha Protocol blends Obsidian’s knack for intricate stories, engrossing
characters, and significant character advancement with fast-paced modern
combat,” said Feargus Urquhart, CEO of Obsidian Entertainment. “Alpha Protocol
embraces everything we enjoy about making RPGs from a fresh perspective. We are
confident our talented staff at Obsidian will enable us to deliver this exciting
RPG experience.”
Loyalty carries a price and no one knows this more than agent Michael Thorton. A
talented young agent cast out by his government, Thorton is the only one with
the information needed to stop an impending international catastrophe. To do so
means he must cut himself off from the very people he is sworn to protect. As
players determine how to accomplish different objectives, the decisions made and
actions taken in each mission will ultimately transform the type of secret agent
Michael Thorton will become. Every choice the player makes as Michael Thorton
will carry consequences for his future and the fate of the world.
“Working with Obsidian Entertainment on a project of this stature is incredibly
exciting for SEGA. We have one of the best independent developers working on
what will be one of the definitive games of 2009,” stated Gary Knight, European
Marketing Director, SEGA Europe Ltd. “With innovative RPG action and an
incredible interactive storyline to match the very best spy-thrillers, Alpha
Protocol delivers a heart thumping high definition experience.”
Alpha Protocol is set for global domination on the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3
and PC in 2009.
