Agent 64: Spies Never Die finally has a release date — August 11 on PC

After five and a half years of development and a string of delays that pushed it well past its original 2022 target, Agent 64: Spies Never Die from solo developer Replicant D6 is launching on August 11 on PC via Steam. The dev confirmed the date in a brief Steam post: "After a grueling 5 and a half years of work, I can finally put a final release date down. Everything is almost ready and set. Let's make it worth it!"

The full game packs a 14-mission campaign starring secret agent John Walter, who has to stop his nemesis Dominic Pulp from taking over the world — objectives include hacking terminals, stealing plans, and freeing hostages across varied settings. The campaign supports solo play, 2-player local split-screen co-op, and 4-player online co-op, with three difficulty levels per mission that add extra objectives and areas. Multiplayer goes even bigger outside the campaign: up to 8 players and 8 bots can compete in arena modes including Deathmatch, Briefcase, and Zone, all playable locally or online. There's also Paradox Mode, unlocked through in-game challenges, which lets you replay missions loaded with 70+ cheats and modifiers — big heads, melee disarms, slow bullet speeds, random weapon swaps — all included at launch with no paid DLC required. Console ports are confirmed but the timing is, as Replicant D6 put it, classified.

Agent 64 wears its GoldenEye and Perfect Dark influences openly — the hip-fire without crosshairs, the forgiving auto-aim, the objective-layered mission design — but reviewers who played the demo noted modernized enemy AI, snappier aiming, and more sprawling levels than the N64 classics it draws from. Eurogamer flagged influences stretching beyond Rare's work to the original Turok games and even Half-Life, suggesting Replicant D6 has absorbed a broader slice of late-90s FPS DNA rather than just cloning one game. The project first surfaced as a prototype in 2021, generated real buzz at the PC Gaming Show in 2022, and has been quietly building out its feature set ever since — online multiplayer, for instance, wasn't part of the original pitch and was only announced in 2025.

The Steam demo, which covers the first two missions of the campaign, was due to be pulled earlier this month but will stay live until August 9 — two days before launch — so there's still time to try it. A new release date trailer has also dropped, showing off silenced headshots, judo chops, and split-screen action.
