News: Join Sam on his newest adventure later this month and see whether you can stop the Blacklist or if you are too late.

Splinter Cell Blacklist is coming out for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC later this month. Earlier today Ubisoft released a new trailer to whet your appetite and showcase some of what you can expected during Sam Fisher’s latest adventure. This new trailer shows off some of the threats that you will encounter throughout Blacklist as well as the ever present clock that continually counts down towards the next attack. Can you stop the Blacklist?

The United States has a military presence in two thirds of countries around the world. A group of 12 have had enough and initiate a terror ultimatum called the Blacklist - a deadly countdown of escalating terrorist attacks on U.S. interests. Sam Fisher is the leader of the newly formed 4th Echelon unit: a clandestine unit that answers solely to the President of the United States. Sam and his team must hunt down these terrorists by any means necessary, and stop the Blacklist countdown before it reaches zero.

With a mandate directly from the President, Sam is building a whole new Echelon unit; his team, his way. Anna “Grim” Grimsdottir is his technical operations manager, CIA operative Isaac Briggs brings additional firepower, and resident hacker Charlie Cole rounds out his support crew. 4th Echelon is a fully mobile ops unit with unlimited resources and cutting edge technology aboard the repurposed stealth airliner, the Paladin.
