SouthPeak Interactive has announced that their stealth-action video game, Velvet Assassin, has gone gold. And just in good time too, cos the game is set to ship out by the end of the month.

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.

Replay Studios' Sabotage got a new lease on its production life when ML Enterprises stepped in to help produce it.  Apparently, the game's developement  has been experiencing "some structural and communication problems. " ML E's support, according to Sabotage Creative Director Sascha Jungnickel, "will be the beginning for long lasting partnership.”

Sabotage is a third person action game featuring Résistance fighter and MI6 agent Violette Summer. Summer's mission is to infiltrate German military camps in France, Poland and Germany during WWII and sabotage them. He must kill high Nazi officers, rescue civilian hostages or solve other missions. The game uses lighting and shadow-effects to match the player's stealth infiltrations and is heavy on the suspense and silent action rather than the firepower.

Originally set to be released at the end of 2006, Sabotage will be available only in German speaking countries.
