Former technical director at Rockstar, Obbe Vermeij, has revealed what happened to missing PS3 exclusive Agent. Agent was teased way back in 2007 before making an appearance at Sony’s E3 2009 press conference.
In a now deleted blog post Obbe explained that Agent came about as employees at Rockstar wanted to do something other than Grand Theft Auto games. “It was a James Bond game and Jimmy is the Scottish version of James,” Vermeij explained. “The game was to be set in the 70s, be more linear than GTA with a number of locations. There was a French Mediterranean city, A Swiss ski resort, Cairo and at the end there would be a big shootout with lasers in space.”
Development did not go well and the team working on it tried to salvage the project but cutting content. “I think it was handed over to another company within Rockstar but never got completed,” Vermeij states. It seems the project was seen as a “distraction” from Grand Theft Auto IV and eventually everyone on Agent was moved to work on that game.
Hopes the game would eventually come out have been boosted periodically by the occasional leak. In 2011 Jack Tretton told Geoff Keighley the game was still in development but refused to confirm if the game was still a PlayStation 3 exclusive. Four years later in 2015 some screenshots from the game found their way on to the internet. The screens are from a 2009/2010 build and seem to show a town from a warm climate, possibly Cairo.
In 2017 Rockstar renewed the trademark on the game. However, in 2021 Rockstar removed Agent from their website, the final nail in the coffin.
The blog post revealing the details has now been deleted. “I got an email from R*North. Apparently some of the OG’s there are upset by my blog. I genuinely didn’t think anyone would mind me talking about 20 year old games but I was wrong,” posted Vermeij.

Just a day away from getting our first look at Grand Theft Auto 6, a leak has surfaced that claims to show footage from the upcoming game. As per GTABase.com on Twitter, TikTok account ‘azzarossi' posted a video showing a quick panoramic view and scale of the alleged location GTA 6 is based in — a fictionalised version of Miami aka Vice City. The video also shows a Pißwasser billboard, an in-game beer brand that's been ever-present in GTA games. While the account has since gone private, there is no way to verify whether the footage is real. The important landmarks, however, match with the massive data leak from last year, which exposed over 90 in-development clips into the wild.
