This post isn’t going to seem much like an actual story to some of you, and that’s due to the fact that it mostly isn’t. Multiplayer support and downloadable content for a game in a large, established franchise? In this day and age? Yes, it’s not exactly an unusual scenario.
But becauseSplinter Cell: Convictionwas right up there withScribblenautsfor “biggest E3 surprise” or whatever you want to call it, I suppose people really care. Talking with Ubisoft producer Alexandre Parizeau,Joystiq found outaboutConviction‘s alarming new secret.
Ubisoft Montreal will be handling the game’s multiplayer, which isn’t being discussed until later this summer, and has plans to “continue expanding the experience” with additional content onceConvictionis finished. Pretty standard, really, but since it’sSplinter Cell, I’m being told to change my reaction to “OMG NO WAI!”
