EuroGamer is reporting that The Agency Exective Producer and Studio Head, Matt Wilson, along with Art Director Corey Dangel and Producer John Smith have left the Seattle studio of Sony Online Entertainment to form Detonator Games.

The SOE Seattle studio was directly responsible for their upcoming spy-MMO, The Agency. With the departure of three high-level execs like this, the fate of The Agency is definitely in question. In development since 2005, The Agency is said to be due out next year for both Windows PCs and the Playstation 3. We have sent an official request for comment to Sony Online Entertainment and will update this post when we hear back.

The GamingShogun crew actually spoke with Matt Wilson at the 2008 Electronic Entertainment Expo on The Agency.
