Obsidian's spy-themed action-RPG Alpha Protocol will ship off to North American retailers on October 6, publisher Sega has just announced.

The game is now tagged "The Espionage RPG," going by the box art issued today, with all three versions--PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360--to be released simultaneously.

In addition to Alpha Protocol, Obsidian has two other projects in the works--Fallout: New Vegas and a secret mystery title--with its Aliens RPG recently confirmed to be cancelled.

For an espionage game, there sure are a lot of explosions in the screenshots. Plus, the hero seems to be dressed in combat gear and carrying several large guns. Let me know when a spy games comes out that has some actual, y'know, spying in it. I've been waiting for one of those for a long time.

Yeah, that's a dumb subtitle. Seems like there could be a less kludgy way of getting across that your game is an rpg focused on spies... but maybe that's just me.

Regardless, I'm hoping this turns out to be good and, (above all), polished.

It looks like such a Mass Effect clone. I think I'm gonna pass on this one. Especially after getting burned so badly on their last expansion for their previous game (NWN2) Storm of Zehir.
