The next Splinter Cell game is coming in August, Ubisoft has just announced. Blacklist, the first entry in the franchise to come from Ubisoft Toronto and producer Jade Raymond, is due for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC on August 20th.

A new trailer shows off what to expect from the upcoming stealth action game--and boy, does it seem to involve a lot of explosions.

  I hope they rethunk their design philosophy established from Conviction and make a game that is genuinely dedicated to and rewards smarter stealth approaches.

        People are starting to whine about the "super takedowns" in games, when for the most part, they're additions to the already there stealth aspect. If I were some super agent/spy/assassin, I would sure hope I'd be adept at taking people down quickly if shit hit the fan.

  No Michael Ironside's voice? That's not Sam Fisher without Ironside.

    And why does Sam Fisher keep getting younger with each installment? I was able to put up with Conviction's Sam as I attributed it to the new art style of the game, but now with both a new voice and an even younger Sam Fisher, I'm having trouble reconciling the "Benjamin Buttoning" of this iconic character. I'll still give the game a chance, but it's on thin ice with me right now...

  Well at least it's not the same time as GTAV and should hold me over until then.

  I walked past a game store yesterday and they had a huge Splinter Cell: Blacklist cutout at the entrance. I told my coworker "that's odd, I didn't know another Splinter Cell was coming out soon", and now I see they just stupidly early with the marketing material for it. :)
