PS3 Game the Agency

Sony Online Entertainment is developing a new game titled The Agency for the Playstation 3 and the PC. The game is a Spy based MMORPG in which the player joins an Agency and performs missions for it. As the player completes their objectives they acquire operatives and eventually can take those operatives and form their own group.
