Ubisoft has revealed that Sam Fisher's next outing will be called Splinter Cell: Double Agent.

Based on all the information that had been pried from the people over at Ubisoft it was widely thought that the game would see a dramatic change for Sam Fisher, with details on a prison break suggesting Sam would be a fugitive. Well, now it would appear that Sam is in fact working undercover as a double agent, with the task of infiltrating a terrorist group. His stint in prison and the subsequent escape are all part of the plan to facilitate Sam's acceptance into the criminal underworld.

More information should be available soon, with the game scheduled for release this spring on PC and consoles, with an Xbox 360 version to follow.
