The Agency getting a name change?

Aside from denying cancellation rumors, Sony has pretty much kept quiet about The Agency. A trademark registered with the USPTO recently suggests that the game is still alive, but might get a name change before it hits stands.

Aside from denying cancellation rumors, Sony has pretty much kept quiet about The Agency. A trademark registered with the USPTO recently suggests that the game is still alive, but might get a name change before it hits stands.

The trademark, which Sony filed on February 18, is for something called “The Agency Covert Ops”. The description of the trademark’s a bit different from the early logo assets Sony released however. Says the filing, “The mark consists of the word THE AGENCY above the words COVERT OPS superimposed by a bulls eye.”

In September 2009, SOE president John Smedley estimated that The Agency could be out by this year.
