A few days ago, we revealed to you a small piece of information from Game Informer detailing that Obsidian is working on a James Bond inspired RPG scheduled to release on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Now Obsidian officially steps up and confirms the title while disclosing new details about the game, Alpha Protocol.
The protagonist of the game, Michael Thorton, is said to develop as the story progresses, depending on the decisions made throughout the game. This will give the game the modern RPG feel that titles such as Mass Effect on the Xbox 360 has, where the game develops based around the character’s actions.
Obsidian Entertainment CEO, Feargus Urguhart explains:
"Alpha Protocol blends Obsidian’s knack for intricate stories, engrossing characters, and significant character advancement with fast-paced modern combat
"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."
Sounds like a very intriguing concept, one in which has never been attempted before within the RPG realm. This should turn out to be a successful venture. Alpha Protocol has an expected release date of 2009.
