The publisher of Grand Theft Auto IV has surrendered a sliver of detail regarding its new action game underway exclusively for PlayStation 3.

Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games, has spoken briefly about his studio’s upcoming PS3 game: Agent. "We have always enjoyed making action games, and with Agent we are making what we believe will be the ultimate action game," says Houser. "Agent is a game we have wanted to make for a long time. The team in Edinburgh is doing an amazing job combining intense action, atmosphere and story in a great period setting to create something that feels quite unique. We cannot wait for people to experience this game."

Grand Theft Auto team, Rockstar North, is at the wheel for the game described as: a paranoid journey into the world of counter-intelligence, espionage and political assassinations during the height of the Cold War at the end of the 1970s.

Splinter Cell meets Grand Theft Auto perhaps? It’s sure to be amazing. But we’ll have to wait and see next year (at the earliest).
