The World War 2 stealth-action game, Velvet Assassin, has gone gold and will be shipping next week, says publisher SouthPeak Games (which seems like an extremely quick turn-around). Vice President of Marketing at SouthPeak Games, Richard Iggo said:

“World War II is such a common theme amongst games in the last ten years, but it’s truly rare to find a title that brings gamers into the visceral reality of what happened. Velvet Assassin excels in its ability to make players feel something more than just gameplay.”

And what is it that Velvet Assassin brings to the table? The game tells the tale of bed-ridden secret agent Violette Summer, told through a series of fevered dreams as she remembers her missions behind enemy lines during World War II.

Velvet Assassin tasks players with acting out these secret missions using nothing but your wits and the provided equipment, with no special weapons or ‘technological marvels’ – so no bullet-time ability, then…

Velvet Assassin will be shipping to retailers on April 30th. Check out the rest of the screenshots below:
