Splinter Cell ConvictionSplinter Cell: Conviction’s finally nearing release – now due this April – and Ubisoft has slipped out another trailer to wet our appetites. Voiced over by a middle-aged private security consultant called Victor Coste, the clip gives you a good recap about the game’s protagonist Sam Fisher…

“Understand this, the Sam Fisher you know is dead…” intones Coste portentously. Of course from our Splinter Cell: Conviction hands-on, we know that he’s only talking figuratively, Sam Fisher’s actually, alive and angry.

The new Splinter Cell: Conviction trailer gives us a flash back to Sam Fisher’s time in the army during the Gulf War and assures us that in the new game “he’s off the leash and going for answers”.

From the brief flashes of storyline, there’s going to be plenty of stealth killings, guns with silencers and at one point a hooded man being interrogated. We were impressed with Splinter Cell: Conviction when we got a look at it, now we’re really excited.

Due April 2010 | £TBA | Ubisoft (via Joystiq)

    I really don’t know what people are getting hyped for. The screenshots I saw looked REALLY last-gen. Of course it’s currently a Xbox exclusive, so you can sorta understand why Microsoft are making a big deal of it, but everyone else, come on…

      The graphics aren’t great, it’s true. But it’s much more of a blast than any previous Splinter Cell game. Throw somebody into a urinal and watch it break on their head and try and not and laugh – it’s filled with deep, black humour this time around.

    Why not a PS3 version!? Is it Microsoft throwing its money around again and buying exclusive licences in an effort to save the dying Xbox!? … Definately!

      It is annoying, I agree. From the early code I played, it’s shaping up to be a lot of fun.
