Ubisoft Club’s Free Game for July is Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell.
Released in November 2002 exclusively on X-Box and PC, and later available on other platforms, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell marked a key moment in Ubisoft’s history: it was the first blockbuster title developed by Ubisoft Montreal, and Sam Fisher has grown to become one of the most recognisable 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 sneaking through 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 for Best Action Adventure game. With his characteristic light googles and stealthy movement, 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.
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell will be available on Wednesday 13 July, 2016. The Ubisoft Club 30th anniversary offer runs throughout the year. The participating game will be revealed every month and will be available to Ubisoft Club members for free for 30 days only.
