Splinter Cell: Blacklist will leave its cover in August

Ubisoft has announced that Splinter Cell: Blacklist, the latest in the Tom Clancy-driven series, will be released on 20 August. At least, that’s the current date for console and PC releases, but we know that Ubisoft has a habit of delaying the PC version somewhat. It would not be a great surprise to see the PC Blacklist show up in September instead.

While you wait for it to show up, here’s a recent trailer in which Sam Fisher proves he can still remember how to use non-lethal methods to deal with people.
