Ubisoft has, for the first time, confirmed that Splinter Cell 3 will be called Chaos Theory, something MegaGames reported over a month ago. The publisher has, also for the first time, announced details of the XBox version of the game which will become available for Microsoft's console and PC in holiday 2004.
The full official title will be Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and will also become available on the N-Gage platform, published by Gameloft. Details on other platforms will be forthcoming.
The game will feature a totally open level design, a completely immersive and interactive environment, and advanced AI in which enemies are aware of their environment and remember past events, making them smarter and even more dangerous. In addition, it will offer improved graphics and a unique, collaborative multiplayer experience.
The year is 2008. Citywide blackouts... stock exchange sabotage... electronic hijacking of national defense systems... this is information warfare, which has become the most dangerous threat to global stability. To prevent these attacks, you must infiltrate deep into hostile territory and aggressively collect critical intelligence, closer than ever to enemy soldiers. You are Sam Fisher, the NSA's most elite black-ops agent. To achieve your mission you will operate undetected, kill at close-range, attack with your combat knife, shoot with the modular SC20K rifle, and use radical suppression techniques such as the inverted neck break. Work alone, or enjoy the thrill of cooperative multiplayer infiltration missions, where teamwork is the ultimate weapon.
