Gaming News - May 2004
Los Angeles, CA (May 10, 2004) - Ubisoft today announced that it is
currently developing Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 3.
From Ubisoft:
The Splinter Cell titles have consistently received some of industry's
highest-ever review scores and most prestigious awards, and have sold,
cumulatively, more than 6 million copies worldwide. Splinter Cell 3 will be
shown for the first time ever in a theater-style demo at Ubisoft's E3 booth --
#1046 in the South Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center, and is scheduled
for a PC launch in late 2004. Details on other platforms will be forthcoming.
With Splinter Cell 3, Ubisoft's celebrated Montreal development studio returns
to the legendary Splinter Cell franchise, for an action gaming breakthrough.
With the first Splinter Cell, Ubisoft redefined stealth action and set new
standards for dynamic lighting; Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow
delivered an online multiplayer experience that awed even jaded gamers, and
Splinter Cell 3 will continue the tradition of pushing the interactive and
technological possibilities of video gaming. It will offer the best graphics in
this generation of games, a completely immersive and interactive environment,
innovative gameplay and a completely unique collaborative multiplayer
experience. Splinter Cell 3's features - all courtesy of cutting edge visual and
sound technologies - will set an industry benchmark once again.
"With Splinter Cell 3, the series evolves to give gamers a new kind of gameplay
that ensures the Splinter Cell franchise will continue to set standards for the
industry," said Yves Guillemot, President and CEO of Ubisoft. "We expect
Splinter Cell 3 to be the best-looking game on any platform, period, thanks to
Ubisoft's incredible command of the latest technologies and visionary creativity
- after all, we created the first Splinter Cell, which completely redefined
stealth action."
About Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 3
The year is 2008. Information Warfare has evolved into the most dangerous threat
to global stability. You are Sam Fisher, Third Echelon's most skilled Splinter
Cell operative. You are assigned to execute a hazardous series of operations to
investigate and eliminate a new source of information attacks, originating in
North Korea. To succeed, you will employ a host of unconventional
counterintelligence activities to gather intel, disrupt enemy operations and
neutralize adversary targets.
As Information Warfare evolves, so must the Splinter Cell. You must penetrate
deeper into hostile territory and operate undetected, closer to the enemy than
ever before. At your disposal is a lethal array of tactics ranging from Combat
Knife techniques, experimental prototype weapons skills, and more radical
hand-to-hand techniques such as the Inverted Chokehold. Experience the thrill of
acting as a lone operative fighting tomorrow's threats in the field, and of
cooperating online with a partner to accomplish crucial missions. Die in action,
and the free world dies with you.
