Ubisoft Celebrate 30th Anniversary with Free Copy of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell

Fancy playing something from Ubisoft’s back-catalogue at no charge?

To mark their 30th Anniversary, the developer/publisher will be giving away one free digital PC game from its extensive line-up each month until the end of 2016. Following the programs initial launch in June at E3 2016, the company will be making the 2002 stealth game Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell available to Ubisoft Club members worldwide.

Ubisoft are planning to give away games which have been acclaimed for their “quality, innovation and creativity”. The company had the following to say about Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell:

Released in November 2002 exclusively on X-Box and PC then on other platforms, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell marks a key moment in Ubisoft’s history: it is the first blockbuster developed by Ubisoft Montreal, and Sam Fisher has grown to become one of the most emblematic characters Ubisoft ever created.

At the core of Splinter Cell is a technological innovation: dynamic lighting. For the first time in a game, lights could change in real time, which in turn enabled developers to rejuvenate the Stealth genre, by hiding and seeking in the shadows. The player interacts with the environment by creating safe places by destroying lights, and adapting to moving ones.

The game was critically acclaimed and received the 2002 E3 Game Critics Award of Best Action Adventure game. With his characteristic light googles and stealthy moves, Sam Fisher became one of the most popular video game characters. Splinter Cell has become a long lasting franchise with 5 sequels, 7 novels and soon a full length motion picture.

You will be able to download Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell on Wednesday 13 July 2016. The game will be available to Ubisoft Club members for free for 30 days only. You can find more information about this offer HERE.
