Splinter Cell 4 announced

Ubisoft has announced that Splinter Cell 4 will be coming to current and next generation consoles as well as PC in 2006.

Ubisoft announced that Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 4 will be released in the spring of 2006 for current and next-gen consoles and the PC. By next-gen we assume Ubisoft mean the Xbox 360, as spring will be too early for the PlayStation 3, although a later release on the PlayStation 3 is a distinct possibility. They are promising that the game will innovate and revolutionize the Splinter Cell franchise creating an all "new breed of game."

"Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory received record-setting reviews and countless awards," said Yves Guillemot, president and CEO of Ubisoft. "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 4 will be even more thrilling and heart-pounding than its ground-breaking predecessors. This new version will both enrich the gaming experience on current consoles and take full advantage of the capacities of next-generation consoles to deliver players the most fabulous gaming experience ever."
