Sam Fisher sneaks out for the end of the year!

Splinter Cell fans rejoice; Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory will be making its' merry way out on Xbox and PC for the end of the year.

Naturally, Cube and PS2 owners will have to be patient and wait for 2005 before getting their black-gloved "Stealth Hands" on the latest installment of the popular franchise.

Here's the official blurb from the publisher:

The year is 2008. Citywide blackouts... stock exchange sabotage... electronic hijacking of national defense systems... this is information warfare, which has become the most dangerous threat to global stability. To prevent these attacks, you must infiltrate deep into hostile territory and aggressively collect critical intelligence, closer than ever to enemy soldiers. You are Sam Fisher, the NSA's most elite black-ops agent. To achieve your mission you will operate undetected, kill at close-range, attack with your combat knife, shoot with the modular SC20K rifle, and use radical suppression techniques such as the inverted neck break. Work alone, and enjoy the thrill of cooperative multiplayer infiltration missions, where teamwork is the ultimate weapon.
