John Smedley, president of Sony Online Entertainment, has revealed to Kotaku that The Agency will be delayed until late 2011. Smedley indicated that the game needed more work and that the delay was the right thing to do.

Smedley says The Agency, which is now due out in the second half of next year, needed a lot of work, so it was delayed.

"There was a moment in time in our company where we looked at our own stuff with a clear eye and saw we have to do better," he said of the delay. "DC Universe was held for a year-and-a-half from when we wanted to launch it and now I'm very happy with it."
