Cockpit, Austin, Texas ? May 13, 2008 ? Gamecock Media Group today announced that 'Velvet Assassin' will be available on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows-based PC when it releases in fall 2008. Developed by Replay Studios, Velvet Assassin is a stealth-action game set in World War II and is inspired by real-life British secret agent Violette Szabo.


?This is a project we've been incredibly excited about from the start,? said Sascha Jungnickel, Creative Director at Replay Studios. ?Velvet Assassin is going to be an amazing experience both in its visual style and gameplay, it will be awesome to get it to such a massive audience.?

Players assume the role of Violette Summer and head deep behind enemy lines with no support or official backing from the British Government.
