Sabotage renamed to Velvet Assassin, gets console versions

It’s been a while (more than year actually) since we’ve heard news about Sabotage, the new stealth action game for the PC from Replay Studios. Now we find out it’s not only been renamed to Velvet Assassin, but now it’s also making its way into the next gen consoles. Velvet Assassin follows the true story of British Agent Violette Szabo during World War II. More details in the full article.

It’s been a year since we heard of new developments for Replay Studios‘ upcoming stealth action game, Sabotage. Now we find out it’s got itself a more svelte name: Velvet Assassin.

The Velvet Assassin is inspired by the true story of British Agent Violette Szabo (although the character in the game is named Violette Summer, which sounds a little perky for an assassin).

The game is set during World War II. As Violette, you will infiltrate enemy lines to bring down the Third Reich. To top it off, Violette will have to do this without support from her government. Talk about a girl power game.

It seems that the game not only gained itself a new title, but also new platforms. Replay Studios has also announced that Velvet Assassin will be released on next-gen consoles, presumably on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The game is set to be released this fall. In the meantime, you can watch this new behind the scenes video of the game:
