“Oh no, I’ve been delayed…”
I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news but as the quote goes, don’t shoot the messenger. Ubisoft have announced that Splinter Cell: Conviction‘s release date has been moved.
Ubisoft have released their details about their performance on the third fiscal quarter where they also provide us with the devastating news.
– The postponed release dates for Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Conviction™ and R.U.S.E™, which were previously scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2009-10, and will now be released in 2010-11. Splinter Cell Conviction™ is now expected to hit the stores in April 2010.
-The 2010-11 fiscal year will see a greater number of franchise releases than in 2009-10, including Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Conviction™, a new game in the Tom Clancy™’s Ghost Recon® series, Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands™, Driver®, Raving Rabbids™ 4 and a new episode of Assassin’s Creed®, which will be the first in the series to have an online multiplayer mode. The 2010-11 line-up will be more focused on the Xbox 360® and PLAYSTATION® 3, the consoles which are expected to experience sustained sales growth in games for gamers in calendar 2010. Other new franchises and innovations will also be announced throughout the year.
If you’re like me then your feeling pretty rubbish right now. I might need to go and play some Assassin’s Creed II to cheer myself up. Are you devastated? Let us know in a comment below!
