Today Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, unveils the first game features and visuals for Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory™ for the Nintendo DS. For the first time, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory™ is available on a handheld console in 3D. Taking full advantage of Nintendo DS’ dual screens and Touch Screen technology, the game offers an immersive experience through the single-player campaign and also includes the innovative cooperative multiplayer and versus modes. Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory™ for Nintendo DS will be available in June 2005.
In Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, the year is 2008. Citywide blackouts, stock exchange sabotage, electronic hijacking of national defence systems: This is information warfare. To prevent such attacks, operatives must infiltrate hostile territory and aggressively collect critical intelligence, getting closer than ever to enemy soldiers.
Through the eight level missions of the single-player campaign—one of which is also exclusive to the Nintendo DS—Sam Fisher, the most elite black-ops agent of the National Security Agency, will kill from close-range, attack with his combat knife, shoot with the prototype Land Warrior rifle and use radical suppression techniques such as the inverted neck-break to accomplish his duty.
“We are thrilled to release Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory for the very first time in full 3D on a handheld console,” said John Parkes, EMEA Marketing Director at Ubisoft. “The game will take full advantage of the Nintendo DS technology, with extensive use of the two screens and wireless communication for multiplayer games. With the addition of an exclusive solo mission and move, this shows our commitment and confidence in making Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory DS a strong release for this summer.”
