It looks like one of the games we were hoping to play this fall won't be making the party after all. Velvet Assassin, the upcoming WWII stealth action game, was scheduled for release this December but now Eurogamer is reporting that the title has been pushed back to January 2009.

The game's ship date has also shifted to a mid-January date on online game retailers so we are going to assume this is not a glitch in the system. The title, from developer Replay Studios and publisher Gamecock, has gotten some new media attention lately. You can check out a recent preview of the game right here at Big Download.
