Ubisoft has finally pegged a firm date on its oft-delayed stealth action title Splinter Cell Conviction, announcing that it will hit retailers across North American on February 23, exclusively on the Xbox 360 and PC.

In Conviction, players once again assume the role of operative Sam Fisher, now a renegade who is on the run after being betrayed by his former employer – the Third Echelon. With the law no longer on his side, Fisher must put a stop to a deadly terrorist plot that threatens the lives of millions.
