PC Gamer Magazine's latest issue reports on a new MMORPG by
SOE, (Sony Online Entertainment) maker of games such as
Everquest, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes and
Planetside. The new game, dubbed
The Agency utilizes the new Unreal 3 and will be available for Windows and the Sony PS3.
The Agency will focus on a system of spy-themed gameplay in addition to incorporating a shooting aspect. The game will also have RPG elements. However, unlike other contemporary MMOs, you don't level up in
The Agency. You complete missions in order to acquire more and better support personnel. Player versus Player combat is also said to play a large role in the game.
Let's just hope that
The Agency doesn't go down the path of
Planetside or
Star Wars: Galaxies. Maybe SOE will have realized their mistakes by now.
The Agency is set to be released winter of this year.
