The Saboteur is a brand-new take on familiar World War II gaming. The first open-world, action game set in
Nazi-occupied Europe, it contains a mix of single player stealth, third-person shooter and racing gameplay in which the
player assumes the role of a hero obsessed with a personal vendetta against the Nazi regime. Utilizing a wealth of
items, abilities, weapons and vehicles the player turns his private, stealth war into something much broader with the
game's "Will to Fight" system which graphically reflects the will of the occupied peoples in the game, which can proves
the deciding factor for all.

Welcome to Nazi-occupied Paris, a unique open-world environment where you take on the role of street-tough Irish race
driver Sean Devlin and eventually become The Saboteur. Although living in occupied WWII Paris, Sean is initially
concerned only with the racing lifestyle and his friends within it. That all changes though when the Nazis kill his
friends, and change his life forever. Seeking personal retribution on a Nazi officer and others involved, Sean's life
soon becomes dominated by a need for payback, which is exacted with the help of the French Resistance, British
intelligence, an arsenal of weaponry, and your own street smarts and brawn. Motivated by retribution and armed with
tactics of sabotage you are a one man wrecking crew, blowing up zeppelins, derailing trains, imploding bridges,
destroying armored tanks, and leveling enemy facilities in the name of vengeance.
Open-world Gameplay
The Saboteur in the first open-world, action game set in Nazi-occupied Europe, and combines a variety of different
kinds of gameplay, including third-person shooter, stealth and racing. As in other open-world games, this means that
although players will be tasked with completing an extensive list of set missions against Nazi units and individuals,
they will also have the freedom to explore and fight throughout the game world as they choose. This world although set
in Paris also encompasses the French countryside, as well as parts of Germany. Within it players will be able to use
representations of actual landmarks for example, the Eiffel Tower for navigation, and a variety of vehicles for
transportation and combat. In mission play, with each success players move closer to tracking down the particular Nazis
responsible for the death of Sean's friends by putting the rewards that they receive for success to work on the
black-market. They can trade for all sorts of items to help their progress, from weapons, to cars, s and more. These
all can also either be found throughout the game, or taken from defeated nents, although the more commotion that is
created and the higher the skills of the player, the greater the enemy response will be.
The "Will to Fight" System
Although built around Sean's desire for personal revenge, The Saboteur also contains a play mechanism through which the
lives of the non-player characters (NPCs) are improved, and can even be manipulated. This is the "Will to Fight" system.
Long known as the "City of Light," Paris as depicted in the game under Nazi occupation is a place dominated by stark
black and white colors. These colors reflect the hopelessness of the people. But as the player collects victories
against the invaders, a change will begin to be seen in the physical environments of the game, again reflecting the mood
of the people. Where once there were only stark black and white colors and few civilians on the street, now players will
see increasingly bright colors, reflecting the hope of the civilians and eventually incite an underground resistance
among the Parisians to take up arms on their own, and even come to your aid when the odds are stacked against you.
