Global Agenda (PC)

Set in Earth's near future, a 'spy-fi' world of advanced technology and player-driven conflict, Global Agenda's fast-paced, action-oriented massively multiplayer online game is Hi-Rez Studios debut title and has been in development since 2005.

Players in Global Agenda can experience both co-op and competitive multiplayer shooter features after a one-time purchase of the game. An optional subscription package, called "Global Agenda: Conquest" is available for players who wish to participate in a massive-scale game of territory control on a persistent world map.

As a special agent playing only the non-subscription features, players can fully level eight different agent characters, participating in both player-vs-player and cooperative missions, as they infiltrate locations belonging to a totalitarian faction, The Commonwealth, and establish themselves inside the game world.

Players in Global Agenda: Conquest form their own groups, called Agencies. These Agencies conquer territory, construct facilities, manufacture vehicles, raid bases, and engage in formal and informal alliances and betrayals on their way toward world domination. The Conquest meta-game revolves around player-driven politics and strategy with each battle being resolved via squad-based combat.

All players who purchase Global Agenda receive free access to Global Agenda: Conquest until March 3, 2010.

"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", said Todd Harris, Global Agenda Executive Producer. "Plus jetpacks, because who doesn't like jetpacks?!"

Global Agenda is available for purchase from Steam, Amazon marketplace, and directly from Hi-Rez Studios.
