Splinter Cell: Conviction Officially Delayed

Ubisoft Montreal's next Splinter Cell title, initially announced as Splinter Cell: Conviction, has been delayed until Ubisoft's 2009-2010 fiscal year, the publisher confirmed today.

The stealth-action PC and Xbox 360 game is now expected to arrive between April 1, 2009 and March 30, 2010, instead of the previous estimated release between January 1 and March 30, 2009. Curiously, Ubisoft only referred to the game as Splinter Cell in the announcement, suggesting the Conviction subtitle may have been dropped.

No reason was provided for the latest postponement of the thrice-delayed title, which was originally slated to arrive in holiday 2007. Ubisoft noted that the push would help "bolster the line-up for fiscal 2009-10," though rumors have suggested the title was recently forced "back to the drawing board."

Better be delayed than be a total letdown.

Chaos Theory was the last good SC imo. Sucks that it doesn't run on x64 thanks to Starforce... I keep hoping it makes it to Steam so I can play it again on my current rig. Last time I ran it on a 6800Ultra - I'd love to see it on my 8800Ultra.

Until now, all Splinter Cell games were an instant buy for me. After hearing the first elements of Conviction, I'm only going to wait for reviews.

I really hope this "back to the drawing board" is true, and the series returns to what Splinter Cell actually is.

Double Agent started to move the series in a direction I didn't like, and Conviction was poised to move it even further down that path. Daylight missions, hiding in plain site. Blah, I say! Kill off Sam Fisher and bring in a new character so the story can reset and the gameplay can go back to skulking in the dark (that doesn't mean you can't get creative, just don't have me running around in the middle of the day in a crowded park... ¬_¬).

Didn't they acknowledge the delay was because of Assassin's Creed or something like that?

Hahaha i knew this would happen. The game was just way to ambitious for it's own good. Also it looked boring.

Splinter Cell was better as simply saving America/World while whispering "America, Fuck Yeah!"

Regarding Convictions, I still sort of look forward to it but I won't keep it in my mind until it nears release.

I really hope the multiplayer is strong on this one. I have been enjoying playing Splinter Cell Double Agent with friends, though there seems to be nobody playing anymore.
