Data miners uncovered screenshots tied to the canceled Rockstar Games project known to fans as Agent, found within fragments of leaked GTA V source code. A Reddit user operating under the alias Awkward96 published the images, which fed ongoing curiosity about the unreleased title.
Agent stands as a stealth-oriented game for the PlayStation 3, developed by Rockstar North. The setting was planned to immerse players in a 1970s Cold War atmosphere. The project first surfaced publicly in July 2007, with an official reveal arriving in June 2009. Since then, Agent has remained in limbo. Rockstar kept the trademark active for years, but it was ultimately abandoned in 2018.
The leaked materials depict an underwater segment shown from multiple angles. At the sea floor, players would encounter a range of submerged locations, including a sunken bathhouse, a wrecked airplane, and an offshore oil platform, each contributing to a dense, exploratory vibe beneath the surface.
Within the Agent files, many items are labeled with the codename Jimmy. This labeling reflects the project’s internal designation at Rockstar North and is a recurring detail in discussions surrounding the game’s development history.
Commentary from online communities has noted a striking visual resemblance between Agent and GTA IV, based on the leaked imagery. Additional speculation suggests that certain elements observed in Agent’s underwater environment may have influenced later mission design in GTA V, particularly in subsea or exploration-themed sequences.
In related rumor food, there was a claim associated with Japanese game designer Hideo Kojima: he allegedly named the best movie of 2023, though the statement appears to be unrelated to Agent and the Rockstar project. This appears to be part of the broader chatter that often accompanies discussions of unreleased games and influential creators, rather than a confirmed tie to the Agent project itself.
