Ubisoft has revealed that Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction will be released on the Xbox 360 during quarter 4. The next installment in the series sees Sam Fisher on the run from the government he once served, a fugitive forced to improvise and adapt in order to survive.

Using the environment and crowds to create diversions and deter enemies, players must react to changing situations and use the environment as a weapon. Expect to engage in close combat and intense gun battles in this stealth action game as you build an underground network of allies who help you acquire gadgets as you struggle to uncover the mystery of who wants you dead.

Prepare to play Splinter Cell like never before as the world around you becomes your inventory where every object is available to use in this new improvisation-based game play. However, enemies will also use the environment as well as their resources to track you down as they actively search for you. You will need to think quickly and adapt if you are to survive.

Players can blend in with the crowd to go undetected or cause a commotion thereby creating a diversion. Choose between active stealth and heavy force to escape. Players will need to use their underground connections to acquire black market gadgets and weapons. However, players can also complete objectives by improvising and using consumer grade gears in ways they were not intended.

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction also supports multiplayer game play where players can elect to play with or against friends in a civilian crowd.
