Splinter Cell: Conviction has been given a new release date of 'February 2010' we can confirm.
UPDATE: Ubisoft's confirmed the US date, February 23, 2010.
The date - being announced in Ubisoft's Tokyo Game Show events - is proudly displayed at the end of the new TGS demo, which you can read all about in our hands-on Splinter Cell Conviction preview.
"The team was asking that they couldn't be with the level of quality on all the maps and all the game for the end of the year, so they had asked for more time to be able to come with a better product," he said in his best English.
I'm interested in this one because it's changing the rules of the usual Splinter Cell game. I like the idea of having to use the environment rather than having just the right piece of tech available for the situation you're in.
I just hope that after this kind of delay it's not a failure.
