Ubi Soft sent us several new
screens from their upcoming third-person stealth action title,
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. The game will be released Christmas 2002 on Xbox, with a PC version to appear by the end of the year.
Splinter Cell will grant players access to the highest echelons of national security, where shadowy operatives have the freedom to do whatever it takes to safeguard America. In the game, the player controls Sam Fisher, a field operative of a secretive "black-ops" NSA sub-agency called Third Echelon. Sam Fisher is geared up to infiltrate high-security strongholds, seize critical intelligence, destroy threatening data and neutralize the enemy - all without leaving a trace. Developed by Ubi Soft's Montreal Studio in Canada, Splinter Cell, is a unique experience that will have the player thinly skate on the fine line that separates fact from fiction.
"Splinter Cell is a really ambitious title that reaches unparalleled visual quality and innovative action packed game play thanks to Ubi Soft's highly modified version of the next generation Unreal-Engine", said Laurent Detoc, president of Ubi Soft Entertainment "We consider it to be one of our premiere games of the year."
