Velvet Assassin Is Near

Previously known as Sabotage, Gamecock Media and Replay Studios' stealth action game, Velvet Assassin is based on the life of World War II allied secret agent Violette Reine Elizabeth Bushell Szabo. In the game, you are going to be in charge of the agent Violette Summer, and yourmain goal is to "take care" of various Nazi objectives.

Sascha Jungnickel, Creative Director at Replay Studios, said "From the start we've wanted a game with a strong female lead that stays true to the history of Violette Szabo while pulling players into a world of dark intrigue.", and also stated that "Sabotage" was an "overused" title for the game, so Velvet Assassin matches much better the idea and feeling they want to send to the player.

For now, the screenshots look pretty good, and if Time Hesse, Gamecock's Executive Producer, is right, we may soon have another great stealth action title ready to offer some great gaming hours. "I have to say, the Replay crew have outdone themselves by making Violette into one of the best looking stealth-killers ever.", he concluded, but we'll have to wait until late 2008 to see for ourselves if he says the truth or not...
