More details, release date for Wesley Snipes iOS game Julius Styles: The International

Wesley Snipes, star of the Blade action movie trilogy, hasn't been wasting his time in jail. Despite being locked away for tax evasion he’s still putting his slick visage into Julius Styles: The International, which is coming out for iOS on August 11th.

The game will feature puzzle and action elements in isometric 3D as players slip into Mr Snipes’s suit as the eponymous Julius Styles. According to the press release, Styles is an "economic hitman"

What is an economic hitman? "[A]n expert in persuasion, blackmail, and assassination. Combining a rapid-fire mind, unorthodox methods, and cutting-edge computer skills, he infiltrates governments, businesses, and other shadowy organizations to help them —or rather encourage them — to make the right decisions."

Styles works for The Assembly, a shady organisation of businessmen and women who will do anything to accumulate everything.

We first got a whiff of Julius Styles: The International in January. Back then it had a 'Dubbed' in the title it and the release was cited as June. Apparently it's not just tax returns that Snipes has trouble submitting on time.
