'I sometimes lie in bed thinking about it': Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser explains why open world spy game Agent never worked out
Update: 2025-11-02
Description
Rockstar's co-founder, Dan Houser, recently discussed the canceled project, Agent, on a podcast. The game, initially announced in 2007, was a spy-themed open-world title with James Bond-inspired gadgets and missions. Despite fan excitement, it was shelved due to the challenge of blending open-world gameplay with the structured, time-sensitive nature of spy movies. Houser believes the two concepts clash, and while Agent never materialized, fans can look forward to IO Interactive's upcoming James Bond game, Zero Zero Seven First Light, which is expected to deliver a more mission-focused spy experience.
