You may be familiar with Hardy, whose recent work includes the roles of iconic villain “Bane” in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES and con man “Eames” in INCEPTION.  He recently starred in LAWLESS, the mixed martial arts drama WARRIOR, and the thriller TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY.

Splinter Cell has always been about cool gadgets and high-tech weaponry. Blacklist will be no exception, and this time Sam Fisher is back with enhanced equipement. 

First and foremost, the tactical, kevlar-weaved combat suit is back. This suit is the best compromise for Sam's new missions, combining lightweight protection with optical and sound discretion.

Other iconic gadgets are back too, such as the goggles that now enable sonar detection, improving on the nigh vision feature seen in previous episodes. Simply put, you can now see through walls and scan an entire compound with the goggles.

OXM also tabbed the upcoming Splinter Cell as one of “the most valuable games” of E3.

UBISOFT® UNVEILS TOM CLANCY’S SPLINTER CELL® BLACKLIST™

2012-05-16T10:49:08

LOS ANGELES — June 4, 2012 —Today, at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Ubisoft® unveiled the development of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell® Blacklist™, the next blockbuster title in the critically acclaimed Tom Clancy franchise. The game will be available worldwide for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and Windows PC in spring 2013.

As the first production project from Ubisoft Toronto, with support from Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Shanghai, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Blacklist delivers a gripping modern-day special ops storyline with a new level of technical innovation and quality. The game includes voice recognition features on Kinect™ for Xbox 360®, an arsenal of new gadgets and reinvented classic weapons, as well as a new “Killing-in-Motion” fighting style, which allows players to strike with lethal precision by marking and executing multiple enemies in one fluid motion.

In the game, a group of 12 rogue nations have had enough of the United States’ military presence in their countries. In an effort to force the withdrawal of the U.S. forces, they mastermind “The Blacklist,” a countdown of escalating terrorist attacks on U.S. assets. Given a presidential mandate and the power to act above the law, players take on the role of lethal operative Sam Fisher. Outfitted with Sam’s infamous tactical suit and goggles, players will infiltrate terrorist cells while using ruthless interrogation methods to extract crucial information to prevent the next Blacklist attack.

The thrilling storyline and wide range of intense, eye-opening missions will propel players to find those responsible for these deadly assaults by any means necessary. Throughout the game, Sam and Fourth Echelon seek out their missions aboard a new Mobile Command Center housed inside a stealth aircraft. Ready to take off at a moment’s notice, Fourth Echelon is equipped with unlimited resources and cutting-edge technology including a Strategic Mission Interface that reports global events in real time.

“Ubisoft Toronto has taken great care to develop an evolutionary Sam Fisher experience that takes the franchise to dramatic new heights,” said Maxime Beland, creative director at Ubisoft. “With exciting gameplay enhanced by full motion-capture performances, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Blacklist offers a highly cinematic experience that will immerse fans and gamers new to the series into an intricate, action-packed adventure.”
