In a weird set of coincindences, Ubisoft has revealed the final and official release date for the upcoming Sam Fischer adventure in Splinter Cell Conviction. The game's release date was set in stone and sent off to select media outlets revealing an April 13th, 2010 date. If you need a refersher on this years release, read on.

Sam Fisher returns as a fugitive and enemy of the state. Now Sam is being ruthlessly hunted by the very government he served, and the friends and colleagues he once knew may have masterminded the entire plot. Working outside Third Echelon puts Sam in the uncomfortable position of having to obtain vital resources via different means (aka the underground black market) as he learns to use the environment around him to his advantage.

Where light and shadows were key to gameplay in the original Splinter Cell, stealth action and improvisation help drive Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Conviction, making it an adrenaline rush of blood-pumping chase sequences, close combat, crowd interaction with real-world dynamics and intense gun battles.

Will this be the final rally and will gamers finally get their hands on the highly anticipated sequel? Only time will tell this time.
