Alpha Protocol Officially Announced

Obsidian Entertainment’s official website now has an official announcement up for their next RPG, Alpha Protocol. They point to the latest issue of Game Informer for some additional information:

If you love RPGs but are tired of swinging swords or slogging around in spacesuits, you’re in luck. Obsidian Entertainment is drawing on its Fallout and Planescape: Torment roots with its new espionage-based game Alpha Protocol. Drawing on the three J.B.s for inspiration Jack Bauer, Jason Bourne and James Bond the developers are giving players plenty of different ways to tackle problems. You can rely on brute force, stealth or gadgets to accomplish missions, and also navigate through a nuanced conversation system. We’ve got the world-exclusive first look at the game in our April issue of Game Informer Magazine.

Remember some details already leaked here. Obsidian also opened an official Alpha Protocol discussion speculation and discussion forum.

We’ve just opened our own Alpha Protocol forum, as well.
