Sega and Obsidian Entertainment’s wetwork-heavy stealth RPG dated for this fall on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
Sega officially listed Obsidian Entertainment’s Aliens-inspired role-playing game as KIA last week, but a similar fate isn’t in store for the duo’s other project, Alpha Protocol. Today, Sega announced that Alpha Protocol will be available in North America for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on October 6.
Alpha Protocol weaves a tale not unlike Robert Ludlum’s well loved Jason Bourne novels. The RPG’s plot follows Michael Thorton, a secret agent who has turned rogue after being disavowed by his government. But, given that the game accommodates a branching storyline a la BioWare’s sci-fi RPG Mass Effect, players can assume a variety of undercover personas, ranging from a suave James Bond-style spy to one like the maniacal Jack Bauer of 24 fame.
Obsidian is also at work on Fallout: New Vegas for Fallout 3 creator Bethesda Softworks. While not a direct sequel to Bethesda’s well-received Fallout 3, New Vegas will stick to that game’s RPG format.
