Agent 64: Spies Never Die Channels Classic N64 Era Shooters
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
A newly showcased fifteen-minute gameplay video for Agent 64: Spies Never Die highlights a retro first-person shooter inspired by classic N64 spy games, featuring local split-screen and online multiplayer.
For anyone who spent countless hours huddled around a CRT television playing classic split-screen multiplayer, a new project is capturing that exact energy. According to IGN South Africa, a fresh gameplay showcase for Agent 64: Spies Never Die highlights a retro first-person shooter heavily inspired by the Nintendo 64 era. The game leans right into nostalgic spy tropes, letting players sneak around to steal secret plans or go in guns blazing during intense action sequences.
Beyond a dedicated solo campaign, the release emphasizes the social side of gaming by supporting both local split-screen and online multiplayer for up to eight players. That focus on couch co-op and competitive play addresses a gap in the modern market, where traditional split-screen features have largely taken a backseat to online-only matchmaking. It proves there is still a massive appetite for the kind of immediate, room-sharing chaos that defined late nineties gaming culture.
While the project wears its vintage influences proudly, it brings modern quality-of-life expectations to a classic genre formula. As players increasingly look for diverse experiences that sit outside the endless live-service grind, throwback titles like this offer a refreshing change of pace. You can check out the full fifteen minutes of gameplay over at IGN South Africa to see how the spiritual successor to GoldenEye shapes up.
