Electronic Arts has announced that it will ship Pandemic Studios’The Saboteurto retail on December 8, for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
Taking place during the 1940s Nazi-occupation of France,The Saboteuris unique in both art, gameplay, and story — a revenge tale that takes place in the heart of a living city. Despite the fact that nearly everyone who has seen the game has walked away impressed (including us), it seems thatThe Saboteuris largely being ignored. It seems like a game that’s destined to quietly sneak out to the market, and then disappear with a quiet whimper.
EA shipping itafterthe major holiday rush of 2009, but before the holiday proper, is probably not going to help matters. I could be wrong — maybe the game will pick up huge buzz at San Diego Comic-Con this coming weekend.The Saboteurwill be playable at EA’s show booth (#5231).
