'Alpha Protocol' delayed until summer
Sega's action RPG Alpha Protocol has been postponed for a second time, MTV reports.

The game was originally slated for release last October before being delayed until the spring. According to the publisher, it will now arrive in summer 2010.

"We had a few reasons for doing it. One: we wanted to position it better, give it a lot of time. The main reason: we really wanted to polish the game up, make it everything Obsidian planned it to be, and give the consumer a very polished game," said assistant producer Matthew Hickman.

"We added a couple of other things. Tweaks in lighting here and there, added the inventory comparison screen so you can compare what you're buying to what you have equipped. Just bringing the whole quality level up."

The report went on to say that a preview copy of the game contained graphical and AI issues which still need to be worked out.

Developed by Obsidian Entertainment, Alpha Protocol will be released for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in the summer.
