The first quarter of 2010 is shaping up to be one of the busiest game release schedules in recent memory. You can now breathe a little bit because two of those upcoming games, including one on most people’s radar, have been pushed back. Ubisoft has confirmed that their upcoming release in the Splinter Cell series, Splinter Cell: Conviction, will be pushed back a few months into April 2010. Splinter Cell: Conviction was originally schedule for a late February 2010 release. Ubisoft has not commented on reasons for the delay, but we can assume for more polish or to avoid the already busy Q1 2010 schedule. Unfortunately, R.U.S.E is not so lucky; the strategy game has been given an estimated 2010-11 release window.
Having watched every video, seen every screenshot and interview on Splinter Cell: Conviction, I was saddened to hear the delay, but look forward to more breathing room in the coming months. Mark your calendars for April, because Sam Fisher will be ready at that time, with more content than ever.
