Ubi Soft have announced a sequel to stealth adventure Splinter Cell, called Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow.
Right up there with Halo as one of the Xbox's best games (yes, it's that good), Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell was a revelation when it first burst onto the scene. With James Bond-style gadgets and Solid Snake-style sneaking, not to mention the Xbox's superb graphical capabilities, Splinter Cell was an unmitigated success, so a sequel was practically a shoe-in. Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow will be released on multiple formats in early 2004 and has a poncy name.
Not much info was divulged from Ubi's short but sweet press release, but we're promised 'more of the single-player intrigue that made the original game a bestseller' plus 'exciting new action scenes' and so forth. However, they did happen to mention that Splinter Cell 2 will feature multi-player online missions, allowing several players to share Sam Fisher's world of shady espionage. No further details were revealed though, leaving me guessing to what game modes will make the final cut - deathmatches would be expected, but a Capture the Flag mode and maybe even an online co-operative mode would go down a stealthy treat.
Im sure Ubi Soft will take their time over Splinter Cell 2, but hopefully the Spring 2004 release date will be met.
