Primotech at E3 2009: Splinter Cell Conviction Confirmed to Have Multiplayer

During a private demonstration at E3 2009 this evening, Splinter Cell Conviction associate producer Jean-Francois Poirer confirmed to Primotech that the newest entry in the series will have a multiplayer component. Poirer was not able to confirm any further details on what that might entail.

Multiplayer in Splinter Cell debuted with the second game, Pandora Tomorrow, and continued through the two following titles, Chaos Theory and Double Agent. Because Ubisoft refers to Conviction as a "redefinition of the series," and given the extended and troubled development of the title, the inclusion of multiplayer was not a certainty.
