Hi-Rez Studios’ team-based shooter MMO, Global Agenda, is available today. The game has been in development since 2005 and is finally seeing the light of day. Set sometime in the Earth’s near future, players will take control of a character who is part an Agency that competes among other agencies for territory and can even form alliances as they work their way towards world domination. Global Agenda is playable in either co-op or competitive multiplayer. Non-subscribers can take advantage of leveling up to 8 different characters in the game. They will also receive access to the Global Agenda: Conquest meta-game as the different Agencies go head to head to establish dominance over one another.

“Our vision for Global Agenda was to combine elements from our favorite genres: the combat of a team-based shooter, accessible character progression of a role playing game, and emergent conflict, production and politics between player-formed groups competing for limited territory like a giant strategy game…plus jetpacks, because who doesn’t like jetpacks?!”

- Todd Harris, Global Agenda Executive Producer

Anybody who buys Global Agenda today will receive free access to Global Agenda: Conquest until March 3rd. After March 3rd, however, players must subscribe if they desire to stay up to date with the game’s MMO component. It is now available through Steam (for $49.99) or the Amazon marketplace (for $59.99) and finally the official website.
