Poor Sam Fisher actually deserves a break, however Ubisoft’s gray and grumpy stealth agent is coming again by way of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands this week. Confirming the first operation of Year 2 as being Splinter Cell themed, Fisher goes to be teaming up with the Ghosts to cease a rogue CIA agent from promoting intel to the Bolivian cartels. Wildlands’ guidelines of engagement being what they’re, I doubt this mission will contain a lot sassy dialogue with soon-to-be-knocked-out guards.
I do know that the final couple video games within the Splinter Cell collection tried to re-brand Sam Fisher as a darker, extra inherently violent various to Solid Snake, however the trailer under for this new mission simply feels mistaken. Sam Fisher was the man who all the time had one thing witty to say to the guard he had in a chokehold. I additionally bear in mind Sam slitting rather a lot fewer throats. Still, that is Wildlands, so wanton violence is order of the day, and when stealth fails, you may all the time name in a gunship to strafe the complicated.
Last week, Ubisoft confirmed that Wildlands was going to be receiving one other 12 months of content material updates break up into 4 Operations, every one with each free and paid parts. Operation 1 is now formally confirmed as being Splinter Cell themed, with all gamers receiving the brand new co-op mission free, in addition to a Counter Strike-esque new PvP mode referred to as Sabotage, which incorporates a number of new multiplayer maps.
Those who purchase the brand new season move will discover themselves with prompt entry to the brand new Echelon multiplayer class, who can use sonar pulses to see enemies via partitions at brief ranges. They’ll additionally get quite a lot of new bits of drugs and costume items, which is able to presumably be unlockable via intensive grinding for in-game foreign money a number of weeks after season move holders have had their enjoyable.
This replace for the sport shall be going stay on April 10th, accompanied by a free weekend instantly afterwards on April 12th via to the 15th. You can see the full patch notes for the planned update here.
