Rockstar’s Agent back on the radar

[7/11]

What would seem like an eternity in gaming years, Rockstar originally started working on a presumably open-world game based on the Cold War called Agent way back in 2009. You can’t quite call this project dead and cancelled though, despite it not exactly making waves in the news the last few years. Gamespot reports that a selection of stills was released by a Redditor who once worked on the game as an artist, revealing just a glimpse of what could have been, or what eventually will be if Rockstar decides, if it hasn’t already, to continue working on the 1970s espionage premise.

Regardless, another Rockstar project in a new time and place is easily enticing, especially considering the dramatic possibilities concerning the Cold War and its convoluted political gamesmanship that typically involved proxy wars in smaller countries between great nations like the U.S., China, and Russia. Taking the architecture, geography, and color palette into account, it’s definitely possible those proxy conflicts will take place somewhere in South America, the Mediterranean, or Cuba, much like Call of Duty: Black Ops. As mum’s the word on the game’s progress or lackthereof, we’ll just have to wait and see whether Agent will make a revitalized public debut or if we’ll have to settle for a much desired Red Dead prequel or sequel.
