If recent reports are to be believed, Facebook is embarking on a new effort to add some familiarity to the Oculus library of games. Virtual reality isn't necessarily short of games to play, but it's left wanting when it comes to big-name re...

Today is both a glorious and sad day for Xbox One backward compatibility. While the service just got a whole ton of excellent additions, Microsoft also announced that it will no longer be adding any original Xbox or Xbox 360 titles to the s...

Despite constant teases and a recent cameo in Ghost Recon Wildlands, it appears that Ubisoft is not actively producing a new Splinter Cell game. In a recent episode of Kotaku's podcast, reporter Jason Schreier stated that the company isn't ...

[Update: Ubisoft has sent us its official statement concerning this matter: "Julian was obviously joking as Julian likes to do. It looks like our creative directors are having fun right now. We do not have any announcements to make at ...

Contains mild spoilers for Max Payne 3 Not everyone has a “type” when it comes to games genres, but many people do. Games span a wide range of different skillsets and combine a variety of other interests, so it should come as no...

At this year's E3, there were mumblings among the community that Ubisoft's stealth-action series Splinter Cell was all set to make a grand comeback, with hopes riding high that a surprise reveal was set for the year's biggest trade show. Un...

Two more Splinter Cell titles are making their way to Xbox One's backward compatibility program today. If you have discs laying around of Double Agent and Blacklist, you can now jump back into the shoes of Sam Fisher and silently take out s...

Picture this: Ubisoft’s E3 2018 presentation is cruising along with few surprises. Games are shown we already know to exist and some celebrity personality is making tired jokes. We all laugh, mostly out of respect, but pine for the da...

The stealth action genre used to be fertile grounds. You didn’t have far to look for an experience catering to that very specific niche. Syphon Filter, Tenchu, Thief, Metal Gear Solid, Splinter Cell, Hitman; these were all games that ...

When Ubisoft announced that second year of content for Ghost Recon Wildlands, I really didn't expect much from it. This was a mediocre game, at best, that already had a plethora of content that went nowhere. How the hell could you expand it...

Ubisoft has another neat event lined up for Ghost Recon Wildlands following that Predator tie-in. Today's teaser sets the stage for the return of Sam Fisher and, crucially, Michael Ironside. Gosh it's good to hear his voice again. I think i...

Splinter Cell: Conviction never got the love it deserved. While it certainly deviated from the established tropes of the previous four games in the series, Conviction's shift away from non-lethal choices perfectly matched Sam Fisher's motiv...

Splinter Cell seems like the odd man out in current day Ubisoft, which oscillates between high-fidelity, big budget games that all feel like the same game (Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs, Far Cry, The Division) and lower budget, smaller team...

Ubisoft has begun gifting PC games from its back catalog in celebration of its 30th anniversary. This month, the free offering is Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. You can grab your copy right here and redeem it through Uplay, assuming you can re...

You can’t throw a stick around here lately without hitting news about The Division, I know, but given this might be shinier news rather than the crap about characters being wiped and that maddeningly restrictive trade scheme, what the...

I'm with Brett: the lowest tier in the Humble Ubisoft Bundle is worth springing for if you haven't played Call of Juarez: Gunslinger or Grow Home or Rayman Origins. It's one dollar for all three! The bundle's next tier up (around $8) is als...

Today, Steam appropriately dropped a stealth-themed sale on the Internet, comprised of more than 60 games, including games in the Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Splinter Cell series. You know, it's only when I write that sentence out t...

Years ago, my friends and I used to make a habit of sneaking up on one another from behind and putting each other in headlocks. We called it "Splinter Celling." We also called series protagonist Sam Fisher "Tom Clancy" as a lark. His name w...

Videogame detective superannuation recently saw that Ubisoft updated their worldwide cumulative franchise sales figures over on the corporate site. Top seller? The Assassin's Creed series with 73 million. Second place goes to Just Dance wit...

The Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and Jumper director Doug Liman is in final negotiations to direct Ubisoft and New Regency's Splinter Cell film, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The adaptation is expected to release next year,...

I wanted Rayman Legends to sell well. Most of us did, hopefully. It's an already terrific game that looks even better when put up against some of the other stuff Ubisoft releases. During an earnings call, Ubisoft CFO Alain Martinez said "We...

Splinter Cell: Conviction was, in my opinion, a superb new direction for the Splinter Cell series, but a fair few fans were unhappy with the changes Ubisoft made. It's hardly surprising then, that Splinter Cell: Blacklist pulls the classic ...

Bloody hell, this week, calm down. A slew of games are clamouring for your attention over the next seven days, some of them really rather good. At the top of the pile, however, is Saints Row IV. I didn't think the series would ever reach t...

This latest Splinter Cell: Blacklist trailer reads like the Cliff's Notes to all the previous Blacklist trailers, summarizing the game's various aspects. There's the silly, hyper-organized terrorist attacks on the United States that valida...

While Batman: Arkham Origins is passing on multiplayer for Wii U, Splinter Cell: Blacklist is going in the other direction in terms of missing functionality. Ubisoft's Wii U port will not support offline cooperative play, it was r...
