Publisher Atlus has released seven new screenshots of Operation: Darkness, a World War II fantasy/strategy Xbox 360 title by Tokyo-based developer Success.

The title pits players with a squad of elite British troops against Hitler and his legions of bloodthirsty zombies and supernatural monsters. Atlus recently unveiled a trailer of the title, showing off Operation Darkness' combat system and motley band of enemies.

"Magic and vampire Hitlers and wolfmen and tanks," said Shacknews founder Steve Gibson. "WTF."

A demo of Operation: Darkness will be made available on Xbox Live on May 5, with the game's release following on June 24.

It is outstanding to see ATLUS publishing titles on the 360.

Based on the description alone, I know I'll be adding this to my library.

I wonder why developers seem to feel the need to "censor" the swastika out of WWII themed games, usually replacing it with the Iron Cross: http://www.shacknews.com/screenshots.x?gallery=9726&game_id=5102&id=118379

Even the Call of Duty series did this some, the swastika was in SP environments but everything in MP used the cross. What's the point? If it's WWII Euro theatre, it's gonna have Nazis.

Is this game made by the same developers as Shadow Hearts? Definitely looks like it to me. I couldn't get into SH:Covenant but it definitely seems to be generally well liked and has its cult following.

Why is there a "size" row on that first screenshot of the chick? So when you're shopping for Nazi uniforms you can make sure to get the right size for her?

All of these shots are in 1080p. Is the game going to be in 1080p as well?
