Splinter Cell Delayed: Fisher Stealth Till 2009
by Wade Larson on July 24, 2008
Want to get your hands on Sam Fisher? Yea, you and a whole lotta terrorists. You’re all going to have to wait a bit longer, as Fisher has disappeared into the shadows of delay.
Ubisoft has pushed Splinter Cell: Conviction back to fiscal year 2009-2010, so don’t expect the spy any time this year. But then again, he could… be… RIGHT BEHIND YOU!
Ok, maybe not. But if he were, you’d already be dead.
Kotaku is also reporting via a string of internet sources that the voice of Sam Fisher, Michael Ironside, has been terminated. No, not like that. His body is not in a dumpster in a seedy alley behind the Ubisoft offices.
No, the word on the street (see: internet) is that Ironside got a little too big for his britches and has been removed for being difficult, self-centered and demanding. In otherwords, an actor. ZING!
In all seriousness, we CANNOT confirm if he has actually been removed from the project, but it might explain part of the delay.
Still, at this point all we have are precious few facts: The game has been delayed to 2009-2010. Everything else is as shadowy as Fisher himself.

Thirty-Two Enter, Only One Will Be Crowned “King Of The Game”
by Chad Lakkis on May 27, 2007
This is what we have all been waiting for … a battle for the ages, and the time is now. We have assembled 32 of the finest video game characters that have ever called a console home, and a five round single elimination tournament of speed, skill, strength, and determination stands between them and being named pixel for pixel the baddest that ever was, the “King of the Game”.
Can Marcus Fenix roadie run his way through a bullet blazing, one liner laden, no holds barred battle with the one and only Duke Nukem? Will Metal Gear’s main man Snake slither his way to victory against the Splinter Cells triclops, Sam Fisher? Metriod’s Samus Aran, or the combat evolved Master Chief? The king of cold: Sub Zero or the queen of hot: Lara Croft?
We here at ripten have been working for over two months, researching, arguing, and eating lots of junk food, all in the name of bringing you an accurate account of each characters quest for video game immortality. Read more…
