If you've been part of the public waiting for Alpha Protocol, then your wait is over. (Well, sort of.) The game has been confirmed by SEGA to be launching in NA in early spring, 2010. That's not too far away anymore folks, so get excited.

Here's what the SEGA reps had to say:

"Alpha Protocol is a new take on the RPG genre and from day one the team has been working to make Alpha Protocol a truly unique game for players to experience," said Feargus Urquhart, CEO of Obsidian Entertainment. "We’re very happy that SEGA has made the decision to hold back the shipment of the game in order to give it the best chance at becoming the publishing success that we at Obsidian and our partners at SEGA are striving for."

Alan Pritchard, European Managing Director, SEGA Europe Ltd. then added: "By pushing Alpha Protocol to Spring 2010, we can ensure that the game will be released in the best commercial release window possible and will also receive the focus this true AAA titles deserves."

I hope that got your secret agent nerves tingling. We'll keep you posted.
