Ubisoft has told fans that Splinter Cell: Conviction, recently delayed from this year to next year, "will be a better game in February than any time earlier".
Speaking to VideoGamer.com earlier this week following a screening of Assassin's Creed: Lineage, the short film produced by Ubisoft to coincide with the launch of Assassin's Creed 2, Ubisoft Montreal and Toronto chief Yannis Mallat, said Conviction's delay was about adding polish.
"The level of polish that we are achieving as we speak is definitely worth the wait. You know Ubisoft is committed to quality. We apply that to all our games. Splinter Cell is not excluded from that."
