Splinter Cell: Conviction delayed

2 March 2010

Developer Ubisoft has revealed that upcoming Tom Clancy instalment Splinter Cell: Conviction will be delayed due to bugs within the game’s AI system.

Speaking to Computer and Video Gamer recently game designer Patrick Redding revealed that the company was working through a ‘laundry list’ of ideas which would give the game a ‘final polish’.

“Honestly? In some ways it was the best possible scenario for us because we were angling towards our original release date in February” said Redding.

“You know, as is always the case, you develop this kind of laundry list and think: ‘Aw man, if only we had an extra bit of polish time to really go after that and that and that, plus all the usual debugging, that’d be wonderful.’

“So I mean a lot of it has been fixing issues with the AI, adding different challenge levels, giving the player the right level of difficulty at first.”

Splinter Cell: Conviction is now due for release in mid April.
