Sam Fisher’s latest affair — Splinter Cell: Conviction — is a definite exclusive for Xbox 360. However, in a recent interview with Edge, Ubisoft creative director Max Beland says Splinter Cell will most likely end up on other platforms after the release of Conviction.
“I joined Splinter Cell after the exclusivity deal with Microsoft had already been signed, but there’s no reason why Splinter Cell couldn’t be on the PS3,” Beland told Edge Online.
So does that mean we’ll see Splinter Cell: Conviction on PlayStation 3?
“Conviction? No, because of the exclusivity deal. I know people keep talking about maybe, maybe not, [but] at Ubisoft Montreal I haven’t seen anyone working on PS3 for Conviction.
“[The next game] is open to new deals,” he said. “If Microsoft wants an exclusivity deal, they don’t call me, it’s Yves [Guillemot, Ubisoft CEO] dealing with the business people. But yeah, I guess we could even be a PS3 exclusive if there’s a deal that makes people happy there.”
Splinter Cell: Conviction is set to hit Xbox 360 on April 13, 2010.
