“The Blacklist cannot be stopped. Not by law. Not by diplomacy. Not by an army,” it is starkly proclaimed within the latest trailer for Ubisoft’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist.
Worrying words indeed, yet fail to phase Fourth Echelon agent Sam Fisher who immediately retorts “To defend the lives of millions, I will become what you fear most. I will make you believe I am everywhere. And I will do it my way.”
Such sentiment has become the slogan for the stealth-action release, with players traversing missions through whichever approach they choose. It’s a trait that has serves the series well, with the trailer’s gameplay footage demonstrating exactly how it’s done.
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Blacklist releases for Wii U on August 20th across North America, August 22nd in EMEA territories, and August 23rd across the United Kingdom.
