Splinter Cell announcement delayed again

Elite special farces.

Ubi Soft has once again left us high and dry over news of… whatever the hell it was planning to announce on www.splintercell.com last night. "We understand that you are very anxious for the announcement and have been patiently waiting," the Splinter Cell team comments. "We are sorry to let you down but there will be no news today. Stay tuned and we'll have more news in the coming days." 'More', chaps? Anyway, we imagine this will now sit still until E3 itself, at which point we expect to be talking about Shadow Strike, Splinter Cell 2, Splinter Cell Online or whatever other variation Ubi Soft has envisaged. Not long now for all Fisher-man's friends.
