Alpha Protocol Delay, Release Date

The news that spy-RPG Alpha Protocol has been delayed has been around for a while now, but official word of a spring release has just arrived from Sega. "Alpha Protocol, Obsidian Entertainment’s much anticipated RPG, will be moving to a Spring 2010 release date," says the release. So no firm date, but it's looking like around March for the game. lan Pritchard, European Managing Director at Sega said: "By pushing Alpha Protocol to Spring 2010, we can ensure that the game will be released in the best commercial release window possible and will also receive the focus this true AAA titles deserves." And that's probably for the best, as the game had a bit of a poor showing at E3, and John was pretty cautious about it in our coverage. Still, we're all hoping for the best on what looks like one of the most interesting RPGs on the horizon. If this delay can give Obsidian the time they need to pull it off then we'll be happy.
