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.
Unleash the power of the most lethal agent to ever exist. You've been given the ultimate freedom to protect innocents against the Blacklist terror attacks known as -- the freedom to use limitless force, to break every law, and to become the globe's deadliest operative. If you succeed, the President of the United States will deny you exist. If you fail, millions will die.

And as we can see from some new gameplay footage, Blacklist's stealthy action is veneered with a beautiful, film-like aesthetic. Read More »
As much as I love shooters, so many have come out this year that the rat-a-tat-tat of gunfire is beginning to grate on my skull. That's why I like having stealthy options. In this new video, Splinter Cell: Blacklist's animation director walks us through some non-lethal takedowns. Read More »
Sam Fisher: Professional badass. Well, sort of. He's really a professional spy, but I think being a badass is part of the job description. I mean, look at him take suckers out in this Splinter Cell: Blacklist trailer. He's been given license to kill, and he certainly doesn't seem shy about using it. It looks like he's given up on the whole "stealth" thing. Read More »
Who's keen for the next installment of Sam Fisher's adventures? This new video for Gamescom from Ubisoft shows off a hefty ten minutes of Splinter Cell: Blacklist's gameplay -- though it may turn you off a little if you're not into overly cinematic sequences, or stealth gameplay turned actiony.
