That’s right, Splinter Cell: Conviction has been delayed until Q4 2009 (January – March 2010.) Earlier today in a Ubisoft conference call, CEO of Ubisoft, Yves Guillemot, broke the news that Splinter Cell: Conviction and Red Steel 2 would not see a release in 2009.
“We are disappointed that we have to postpone the release of several major games but we consider that this choice is the best one in the long-term interests of Ubisoft. Lastly, we are having to adjust our full-year targets to take into account the fall in business over the first half. The excellent response to our games at E3, as well as the high buzz generated for titles such as Assassin’s Creed 2, Splinter Cell Conviction and Avatar, reinforce our belief that the company can achieve strong growth in the second half of the fiscal year.”
Looks like Ubisoft is relying on Assassin’s Creed 2 to bring in the money this fall. Here’s some advice Ubi: Push Assassin’s Creed 2 forward. No way that game will have a bigger impact when it releases a week after Modern Warfare 2. As for Sam Fisher, I’ll see you next year
