There’s no shortage of WWII video games, between the Call of Duty series and the Brothers in Arms series and the Medal of Honor series and the Wolfenstein series and…you get the idea. But Velvet Assassin looks to bring a little something new to the time period by having a female protagonist (based on real-life WWII spy Violette Summer) and focusing on stealth rather than either shooting skills or squad-based strategy.

Violette tells the story of her time during the war from a military hospital, so all the gameplay is a flashback – I imagine that means they’ll have to do something creative for when you, like, die. I’m more into RPGs lately than FPSes, but everything I’ve heard about Velvet Assassin sounds like a cross between standard WWII games (which remain my favorite FPSes) and Splinter Cell, which was an awesome game as long as I remembered not to go all Navy Seals and run into places with guns blazing.

Anyway, publisher Gamecock and developer Replay Studios have released a new trailer today, with Violette cribbing Winston Churchill’s speech (and for some reason running around in what appears to be a negligee of some sort for a good bit of the time). I hope the voice acting ends up a bit better than this, but I’m not optimistic. If they can get the gameplay right, I’ll be happy enough. Also, it’s called VELVET ASSASSIN, which is perhaps the best title of anything ever. The game will be released for Xbox360 and PC on April 16th.
