Normally we've got no problem speculating on rumors here at Massively. It's a fun way to pass the days until a beta really does begin or a release date actually is announced. Except, sometimes, it gets taken too far.
Rumors of SOE's The Agency receiving a December 31st release date have been floating into our inbox lately. Of course, that doesn't make any sense, because six days after Christmas (and one day before New Year's Day) is a horrible time to launch any game, especially one that requires all-hands-on-deck like an MMO. Additionally, any time a retailer lists a game at a default price on the first or last day of the month? That's a big shot in the dark.
The fact of the matter is nobody knows the release date for The Agency, even though everyone wishes they did. We're fairly sure that even the development team doesn't have a clear picture of that right now. Most videogames have a moving "release window" and this one is no different from the rest. When we do have a solid information expect to hear all about it right here on Massively.

Looks like a fun game. Hopefully we get more information on it soon.
Love to see how it plays on my PS3.

Is there any news about the game's progress? It's been over half a year since I've heard anything.

It is very common for some game sites and game retailers to list a release date as "December 31, 20XX" when they don't know the release date but reports have indicated it will be released that year. For instance G4TV.com has a preview up for APB and lists the release date as December 31st, 2010.

I knew KH BBS wasn't coming out in december...(Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep's date said on gamestop's website december 31st, when actually Gamespot/GameFAQs says Q3...)
