Today, Sega announced that it is developing Alpha Protocol with Obsidian Entertainment. This new game is described as an "espionage role-playing game" and casts the player in the role of Michael Thorton. As a talented young secret agent, you must choose your actions carefully, as they will determine Thorton's personality and affect the fate of the world.

"Sega is very excited to be introducing a new type of gaming experience to next-gen consumers," stated Sean Ratcliffe, Vice President of Marketing for Sega of America. "With ground-breaking new RPG action and an interactive storyline matching the best spy-thrillers, Alpha Protocol delivers a true next-generation RPG experience."

"Alpha Protocol blends Obsidian's knack for intricate story, engrossing characters, and significant character advancement with fast-paced modern combat," said Feargus Urquhart, CEO of Obsidian Entertainment. "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."

Alpha Protocol will release on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC in early 2009.
