When it comes to games that have been stuck in development hell for years, Rockstar Games' Agent is right up there among the best of them.

Imagine this: Rockstar Games announced Agent hot on the heels of GTA IV's success at E3 2009, back during a time when PS3 was relatively new to the scene. Rockstar North would have led the development of Agent and with a premise revolving around a tale of espionage set during the Cold War in the 1970s, Agent had all the makings of a big PS3 exclusive.

Unfortunately, for years, the game was nothing more than its hype-filled announcement. Now, it appears that it is officially no longer in development.

Why has Rockstar Games removed Agent from its website?

Rockstar Games never officially canceled Agent. Even now, it's still technically in development. Fans never lost hope either, especially since Take-Two Interactive kept on renewing the IP's trademark over the years. However, even the most hopeful of fans have started to realize that Agent will never see the light of day after Take-Two abandoned the trademark in 2018.
