With just a few days left until E3, the game announcement rumors are just piling up. The latest speculation pertains to a new Splinter Cell.
One NeoGAF member claims to have seen a trailer for “Splinter Cell: Blacklist”. A supposed trailer features Sam Fisher in a full body suit and night vision goggles, with him sporting a “serious look” and lacking grey hair.
So why’s it subtitled Blacklist? The game will apparently focus on Fisher taking out enemies listed on his blacklist.
Assuming this is true, a reveal will be taking place at E3. This is somewhat backed up by another source, who says he was informed that a new Splinter Cell will be announced next week.
XboxGameZone published a story about Blacklist earlier today, but it has since been removed. The article indicated that the title will be heading to the Wii U, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
Zen Studios’ latest title is CastleStorm, described as “a new breed of 2D archery projectile warfare and 2D physics-based structure destruction game.”
Nintendo fans will be happy to hear that CastleStorm will be released on Nintendo digital platforms. We asked Zen Studios on Twitter if the game would be released for the Wii U’s digital store or the 3DS eShop. They courteously responded with, “Yes, CastleStorm will be available on Nintendo digital platforms”. So that means we’ll be seeing it on either the Wii U, the 3DS, or both.
Head past the break for CastleStorm’s announcement.
Nintendo has revealed even more details about the new features available in Pokémon Conquest, launching for the Nintendo DS family of systems on June 18. In Pokémon Conquest, players will explore the Ransei region and interact with Pokémon in an entirely new way as they take on the role of a young Warlord who is linked with a Pokémon. Together they must set out to recruit Warrior allies to strengthen their growing kingdom. Developed by TECMO KOEI GAMES Co., Ltd., the game can also be played on the Nintendo 3DS system in 2D mode.
New features include the following:
Atlus has opened an official teaser site for Shin Megami Tensei IV. Famitsu announced the game with a two-page advertisement in its latest issu.
Unfortunately, Atlus’ page doesn’t say when we can expect an actual update on the game. There isn’t any sort of countdown, so it could be awhile before we receive any screenshots or details.
You can find the teaser site here.
