The Agency Officially Cancelled.

Quote:
As part of a strategic decision to reduce costs and streamline its global workforce, SOE announced today that it will eliminate 205 positions and close its Denver, Seattle and Tucson studios. As part of this restructuring, SOE is discontinuing production of The Agency so it can focus development resources on delivering two new MMOs based on its renowned PlanetSide and EverQuest properties, while also maintaining its current portfolio of online games. All possible steps are being taken to ensure team members affected by the transition are treated with appropriate concern.
So yeah. I'm afraid we won't be hearing of the agency any time soon, if ever. You can read the whole thing here.

It always saddens me to see a game this finished looking and promising to fail.

Dev team shaken, not stirred

It's being reported that Matt Wilson and Corey Dangel have left SOE and formed a new company called Detonator Games. Unfortunately, my operatives have confirmed that the news is true.

What this means for The Agency is unknown, with SOE stating that work on the game continues and they hope to show fresh footage soon.
