Splinter Cell fans, it’s time to start getting excited for the release of Splinter Cell Conviction and to get you going we have a new video featuring gameplay footage from the upcoming game’s co-op campaign mode. The short campaign follows Russian agent Kestrel and American agent Archer in 4 missions which serve as a prologue to the game’s main storyline.
The co-op mode is also getting some abilities which will be exclusive to the mode.:When one player is grabbed by an enemy, that player can elbow the enemy to give his partner a chance at a clear shot. Players will also be able to revive their teammates when they’re downed. The downed teammate will also have the option of firing from the ground or playing dead until his partner comes to the rescue.
Patrick Redding, Co-Op Designer at Ubisoft Montreal, compares Conviction’s co-op with the gameplay featured in past Splinter Cell titles:

“Gameplay is a lot more about bursts of intense action swinging back into stealth and using stealth as a tool. It’s less about being invisible and more about being predatory.”
Don’t just take Pat’s word for it, let the footage speak for itself:
For the collectors out there, there’s also some good news as Ubisoft has unveiled what will be included in the Collector’s Edition of Splinter Cell Conviction.
It seems gamers will be given a Sam Fisher figurine which appears to be about the height of a game case, a copy of the soundtrack, and a number of in game exclusives including access to the MP-5 Submachine Gun, SC3000 Assault Rifle, SMG-2 Machine Pistol, Armor, and Infiltration Mode.
We here are Game Rant are really excited for the release of the next Splinter Cell, and co-op play is always well received here. It’s getting closer, but February 23, 2010 still seems so far away. Are you as excited as all of us to get your hands on Conviction?
