Agent 9 (Prime 8) is a cancelled game that was being developed by Blue Tongue Entertainment and Backbone Entertainment as a spin-off of the Spyro the Dragon franchise. It featured Agent 9 as the main playable protagonist.

Development

Sometime in 2003/2004, Vivendi Universal wanted to use Agent 9 to be the protagonist of his own platform adventure game, out from the Spyro world.

Vivendi asked Blue Tongue Entertainment to create the initial concept for this new project, in which Agent 9 became a James-Bond-alike spy, but after a series of focus groups with kids, they had to redesign the character to make him more “cool” to appeal more to the right audience. Agent 9 became Prime 8, with a more “hip” look and gameplay that should have been similar to the Ratchet & Clank series. Sadly, even after this redesign, something went wrong during the development and Prime 8 was never released.

Backbone Version

Another pitch was proposed to Backbone Entertainment. Backbone created a series of concept designs more true to the original character (as seen in Spyro the Dragon). In the end there were at least 2 different “Agent 9″ projects, but we can speculate that Vivendi Universal did not like any of them and these games were never finished.
