Velvet Assassin - Female Character

Replay Studios and publisher Gamecock has announced the official name change for ’Velvet Assassin’, their upcoming stealth-action title formerly known as ‘Sabotage’. The title is of interest to female gamers because it features a female protagonist in the form of real life hero Violette Szabo, a World War II Allied secret agent.

Velvet Assassin uses the clandestine art of sabotage Violette Szabo championed during the war period. The real story of Szabo is an amazing one--she coordinated sabotage attacks against the Germans and was a true war hero. Captured at a road block she was interrogated (including rape, torture techniques and brutal assaults). She was eventually executed in Feb 1945 at the age of 23.
