I haven't personally heard any, but apparently there are some rumors going around that Sony Online Entertainment's The Agency (PS3, PC) has been canceled. We certainly haven't heard anything about the game in a while, but according to SOE president John Smedley, the FPSMMO hasn't been shelved at all.

If you're keeping yourself regularly updated on the latest news on SOE's The Agency, then you better check this out, cos we've got the latest on this online action shooter. Sony's revamped the fact sheet, so there are some items that was not previously known about it.

A couple of Sony's massive online games -- Zipper Interactive's MAG and SOE's very own The Agency -- are rumored to be gearing up for beta releases soon. More after the jump.

The Agency generated a lot of buzz when we first heard about it some two years ago. And then for some odd reason, there was silence. That's about to change now as SOE execs break the quiet with statements from the GDC. Oh, and for DC Universe Online too.

Sony Online Entertainment's upcoming pseudo-MMO shooter, The Agency, is catching the attention of some gamers - not to mention advertisers too. Though the game might opt to do away with monthly subscription fees (a big sigh of relief there), SOE's still got to make some revenue - that's where in-game advertising and microtransactions come in. Yeah, not everything in life is free. People still need to make money. Life goes on. Golden arches are everywhere now.

SOE eased worries a few days ago when they confirmed that their upcoming PS3 MMO The Agency wasn't canceled as rumors would have you believe. If that's not enough for you though, then look forward to next summer, when they'll finally show off stuff from the game.

More details after the link.

Good news for the PlayStation 3 crowd! Sony Online Entertainment has dispelled rumors that their upcoming spy-shooter MMO The Agency is canceled. The game is still alive and kicking.

Or not, whatever.

We've heard a lot about the possibility of cross-platform play in Sony Online Entertainment's The Agency (PlayStation 3, PC). This time, it's senior game designer Kevin O'Hara's turn to sound off on the matter. Long story short, he thinks that contrary to what they say on Internet forums, gamers don't really like cross-platform play.

Cross-platform play may yet be added as one of the features in Sony Online Entertainment's The Agency (PlayStation 3, PC) after all. This was revealed in a recent interview by executive producer Matt Wilson. According to Wilson, it's one of the features that SOE is considering. "We're actually doing that at the office," said Wilson. "Technology-wise, it's really not that complicated."
