Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Is an upcoming action adventure video game fromUbisoftand the seventh installment of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell series.
In the Microsoft Press Conference at E3 2012, Splinter Cell: Blacklist was revealed, boasting new features integrating Kinect as well as series veteran Michael Ironside being replaced in his role as the voice of Sam Fisher by actor Eric Johnson who will be performing voice and motion capture duties. Ubisoft executives said that the change was made to take advantage of new performance capture technology to create a richer experience. Features returning include a moving "Mark and Execute", Sam's signature goggles and combat knife, and the ability to perform "kill and drag" stealth melee takedowns. The game is still highly based upon stealth and invisibility.
Following the events of Splinter cell Conviction, President of the United States Patricia Caldwell officially terminates Third Echelon and orders all current operations being conducted by Third Echelon and their agents be grounded and shutdown immediately. Further, President Caldwell chooses to replace the corrupt agency with the newly-formed "Fourth Echelon" - an elite team of operatives, drawn from different agencies, operating in a mobile environment, going across the world to perform missions, reporting directly for President Caldwell; the United States government denies any existence of the agency.
The founder of the organization is Sam Fisher. President Caldwell promotes Fisher to leader of the team, and he is formally appointed Commander of Fourth Echelon.
While conducting this primary mission, with Fisher and his team working to finish the closure of Third Echelon, a group of 12 rogue national terrorists initiate a terror ultimatum, called "The Blacklist" - a deadly countdown of escalating terrorist attacks on United States interests and other assets. Reason being, these 12 have had enough of the United States global military presence in two thirds of the countries around the world, including their own.
Fisher and his team must now track and hunt these terrorists down, by any means necessary, and stop the Blacklist countdown - the new terror plot that becomes primary objective of Fourth Echelon, with its initial orders against Third Echelon becoming it's secondary objective - before it reaches zero.
Blacklist sees the return of Anna 'Grim' Grimsdottir, and will include the addition of new characters, such as Isaac Briggs, and Charlie Cole.
Blacklist introduces a new gameplay mechanic called killing in motion, allowing the player to highlight targets and take them out in quick succession, with a new fluidity while on the run. As well, there will be voice integration with Xbox’s Kinect peripheral, which will allow gamers to say things to distract enemies and then attack.
