For those who perhaps don't remember Rockstar's Agent, here's a quick history lesson. Agent was announced as a PS3 exclusive 1970s set Cold War spy thriller all the way back in 2009 and since then it's never actually been officially canned despite never coming out. The game was being developed by Rockstar North and at one stage was going to be released in 2010 but never materialised.

Now we've got some leaked screens from the portfolio of environmental artist Darren Hatton who worked for Rockstar North between 2009-2010. You can check them out in the gallery above. All doesn't appear to be lost for the project as the trademark was renewed back in 2013 by Take Two. Add in the fact that Sony boss Shuhei Yoshida said he knew something but couldn't say anything back in 2013 and there might still be hope. If the Sony exclusivity still holds then that would be another serious coup for PlayStation but the ball is very much in Rockstar's court on this one.

The images below were leaked by concept artist Leigh Donoghue back in 2011. That's the last we'd seen but they definitely tie location wise into the gallery above's 'new' screens from Hatton.
