SouthPeak Games announced today that Velvet Assassin, their stealth-action WWII title has departed on its final mission to retail shelves in North America. Released for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC, Velvet Assassin chronicles the life and times of Violette Summer, a British secret agent behind enemy lines in Nazi Germany.

Aussie ratings board clarifies its position on drug use in Velvet Assassin; says historical and medical context justifies in-game use of morphine.
A representative for SouthPeak Interactive, publisher for Velvet Assassin, told Blend Games at NY Comic Con that no sequels were planned for the game. However, now the developer, Replay Studios, has set the record straight.

Electronic Theatre has just received the following announcement from SouthPeak Games:
SouthPeak Games announced today that it has partnered with world-famous animation artist Peter Chung to create all-new, original work based on the upcoming stealth-action game Velvet Assassin. Chung is best known as the creator and director of Aeon Flux, and has worked on a number of animation projects, including The Animatrix and The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury. The 15+ page digital graphic novel will be available as an exclusive, limited-quantity bonus item to those who purchase the game at GameStop.
When told that "Fallout 3? could not be released in Australia unless the game's real-life drug references were removed, Bethesda Softworks changed the references to fake drugs in every version of the game, but SouthPeak said that will not happen with "Velvet Assassin"'s references to morphine use.
The company said it wanted to create Violette Summer as a "normal woman, not only in physique, but also in terms of her abilities." Imagine our surprise when we opened the attachment to find a sultry young woman with D-Cup breasts and a tiny waistline, wearing a nightie and holding a Luger.
"In a new glimpse at the star of the upcoming Velvet Assassin, developer Replay Studios stresses that Violette Summer is no Lara Croft or similarly disproportionate game babe.
For those of you hoping to jump in the skintight leather pants of Violette Summer and thwart German Nazi's on your PlayStation 3 next year, you may be in for a disappointment.
