There will be four types of co-op missions spread across 14 maps where two players take the roles of Sam Fisher and his CIA op partner Isaac Briggs. Both online and split-screen play are supported.

For more information on Blacklist's multiplayer, our Martin Robinson went hands-on with its Spies vs. Mercs mode, which he adored.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist is due on Xbox 360, PS3, PC and Wii U on 23rd August in the UK, the previous day in the rest of Europe, and 20th August in North America.
