It's a game that we have been waiting for a long time to get our hands on and today Sega took the unusual move of announcing a release date for a game that isn't due out for over three months. The game in question is Alpha Protocol and the Obsidian Entertainment-developed action-RPG is now due out in stores on October 6.

The Unreal Engine 3-powered take on the super-spy genre has also picked up a newly revealed sub-title: The Espionage RPG. Perhaps Sega wasn't too sure that the Alpha Protocol title was good enough to identify the game as part of the spy genre.
