A new trailer for Splinter Cell Conviction has landed on Xbox Live, giving us the first official reveal of the rumored co-op mode . The game will feature an entire co-op campaign, which will serve as a prequel to the single-player story of Sam Fisher taking on his old organization, Third Echelon

According to a recent post on CVG , the publishing partner of PC Zone magazine, the next issue of the latter will drop some knowledge on us regarding Splinter Cell: Conviction ’s multiplayer modes.

In other words, Sam Fisher won’t be making his return until sometime between January 1 and March 31 of next year (the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009-10). You’re sad, we’re sad, everyone’s sad

Listen, Ubisoft. You’re taking your flagship stealth franchise in a decidedly un-stealthy direction — we get that.
