While it was probably a foregone conclusion that Splinter Cell Conviction was going to get a demo at some point, and we had already heard that we would be getting one in January (that was when the game was set to launch in February) we now have uber-official confirmation that a demo is coming for the game. When? Where? How? No one really knows, but considering the fact that the game itself doesn’t seem to ever be coming out why sweat the details? That April 13 release date is a lie, I tell you!
Anyway, we may see this before the game launches or after, and there is no word on what level or section of the game it will be. The confirmation was released in the above video, which answers some fan questions about the game, one of which was about a demo. Creative Director Maxime Béland is about as noncommittal as a committed person can be when discussing the demo.
Of all the major games I’m interested in, Conviction is actually the one I most want a demo for. While much of what I’ve seen and played looks awesome, I’m just not so sure about the new direction they’re taking. Hopefully the demo lands before the game does and I get a chance to try it out more.
