A cold, deliberate game of shadow and patience where every movement is a quiet decision between life and death.

About

You are Sam Fisher, the NSA's most elite black-ops agent. To achieve your mission you will kill from close range, attack with your combat knife, shoot with the prototype Land Warrior rifle, and use radical suppression techniques such as the inverted neck break. Also take on cooperative multiplayer infiltration missions, where teamwork is the ultimate weapon.

What players say

A tense, methodical stealth game with unparalleled atmosphere that rewards patience and sneaking over firepower. Broadly considered the pinnacle of the Splinter Cell series.
