GoldenEye-inspired Agent 64 gets August 11, 2026 release date

Agent 64: Spies Never Die finally has a release date, and it is coming to PC via Steam on August 11, 2026. The free demo will stay up until August 9, giving players two last days to sample the GoldenEye-style shooter before Replicant D6 locks in its launch.

That date ends a long stretch of uncertainty for a game that first turned heads at the PC Gaming Show in June 2022. Agent 64 missed its expected early access window that same year, and updates were sparse enough that some players started to wonder whether the project had stalled. Instead, Replicant D6 says the game has spent roughly five and a half years in development, and the new release-date trailer makes it clear the studio is finally ready to ship rather than keep floating a promise on Steam.

The feature set is a lot broader than the game’s early single-player pitch. Steam now describes Agent 64 as a retro spy FPS with solo or co-op campaign play, local split-screen multiplayer, and online multiplayer for up to eight opponents. The current package also includes 14 non-linear solo missions, contract missions, and time trials, which pushes it beyond a simple nostalgia exercise and into full PC launch territory.

That multiplayer expansion matters because the original GoldenEye appeal was never just the campaign structure. Split-screen deathmatches were a huge part of why that era of console shooters stuck in players’ heads, and Agent 64 has steadily moved toward that legacy. Split-screen multiplayer was announced in September 2023, online mode and playtest details arrived in January 2026, and the studio’s own beta update called the test “extremely useful and informative” as Replicant D6 worked toward the finish line.

The Steam page also gives the game a more specific hook than just “GoldeneEye clone.” The protagonist is John Walter, and the setup revolves around saving hostages, thwarting secret plans, and operating behind enemy lines. For a retro shooter that spent years on the edge of early access limbo, the combination of a firm August 11 date, a demo that runs until August 9, and a full multiplayer feature set gives Agent 64 the clearest shot yet at turning long-running curiosity into an actual launch.
