Alpha Protocol – Henry Leland is an arms dealer with a mission
A new video for Alpha Protocol was sent over to us today by the fine folks at SEGA.
It’s a character vinaigrette for weapons dealer Henry Leland, who enlists the help of Agent Michael Thorton in recovering some stolen weapons. All is not what it seems with Henry though, as it is suspected that he has a hidden agenda – like most shady folk.
Yesterday, we posted videos for a Russian informant and sexy German lady who likes to make sexual innuendos.
Alpha Protocol releases on May 28 in Europe for PS3, 360 and PC, with a US launch on June 1.
Watch the video below, or through here.
