We had begun to think for a while that Splinter Cell: Conviction was never going to come out. Then, when Sam Fisher emerged at this year’s E3 clean shaven, we realized he’d just been looking for a barber the whole time.
Well, it seems that even a smooth face isn’t enough to keep Sam out of the cogs of the Great Delay Machine. During today’s Ubisoft investor update, Splinter Cell: Conviction was announced to have slipped from Q4 of this year to the first quarter of 2010. Hey, at least he’ll have plenty of company alongside other recently delayed titles like BioShock 2, Bayonetta and friends. Didn’t you get the memo? Q1 is the new Q4 – it’s all the rage!

You know this isn’t all bad news. Time for plenty of polish, seeing that this is most likely the last title in the franchise, so perfection is what the consumers demand!
