Ubisoft To Offer Splinter Cell For Free On Uplay

Who doesn’t like free games? Legitimately free games, we mean. Ubisoft’s turning 30 this year. That’s plenty of time to turn into a monolithic mega-corporation. But the good news is that the Assassin’s Creed developer will be offering a whole raft of titles from its back-catalog, golden oldies like Prince of Pesia: The Sands of Time, for free.

Now, Ubisoft has revealed that, from July 13th onwards, it will be offering the original Splinter Cell for free! Sam Fisher’s come a long, long way since then, with the most recent outing, Blacklist making for one of the more compelling third-person stealth experiences outside of Metal Gear Solid V.

Still, the original is still plenty good, especially considering that it won’t cost you a penny! Splinter Cell, remarkably, is now 14 years old, but the core mechanics, which were iterated on for half a dozen sequels (and even a couple mobile spin-offs), holds up remarkably well. Are you planning to grab Splinter Cell off Uplay next week? Let us know!
