Ubi Soft today announced another game in development at the Montreal studios if the developer/publisher, Splinter Cell. Splinter Cell is another game based on the work by author Tom Clancy. It will be a third person stealth action game for the Xbox and PC and is scheduled for a fall 2002 release.

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 Splinter Cell, 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.

Like Rainbow Six: Raven Shield, Splinter Cell uses the latest Unreal technology. Hit ToTheGame for screenshots from the Xbox version.

Update: Wasting no time, Gamespot already has a preview of the game.
