The game previously known as Sabotage, Velvet Assassin, has finally been given a release date of Fall 2008 for its outing on the Xbox 360 and PC platforms.
Developed by Replay Studios and published by Gamecock Media Group, Velvet Assassin puts the player in the shoes of Violette Summer, a woman going behind enemy lines in Nazi occupied Europe to help the fight against the Third Reich.

The story within the game is based around the real life experiences of Violette Szabo, an Allied secret agent who worked for the British Secret Service during World War II, eventually being captured and executed in 1944.

With missions based on real events from the time, the game isn’t going to take it easy on you. One mission shown to press at EIEIO in March had the player deliver cyanide capsules to captured British agents to allow them to kill themselves.

The press release touts “a ground-breaking stealth combat system and one of the most unique perspectives ever brought to gaming”, so Velvet Assassin is setting up high expectations for its release later this year.
