Max Beland of Ubisoft has told Edge that Splinter Cell will probably end up coming to PS3 and other platforms after Conviction is released in April.
Note, he said Splinter Cell, not Conviction will end up on PS3 and other platforms, so don’t hang your heart where your hands cannot reach it.
“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 said.
“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.
“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.â€
You may remember Splinter Cell: Double Agent came to Xbox 360 first and then was ported to PS3, but Conviction won’t. You’ll need an Xbox 360 or PC if you’re that big of a fan.
The game’s on April 13th and 16th in the US and UK respectively.
