What I would give for a brand new Splinter Cell recreation – even the upcoming remake of the unique is shrouded in additional shadows than Sam Fisher himself, with no information on when that’ll arrive. Effectively, for PC gamers, Ubisoft has at the least delivered an surprising shot of nostalgia. Except you could have the bodily discs, shopping for and taking part in 2004’s Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow on PC was a little bit of an ordeal (by official platforms and storefronts, at the least). Now although, one of many best-rated Splinter Cell video games has appeared on Steam out of nowhere.
That early run of Splinter Cell video games within the 2000s was actually particular. The third recreation within the sequence, Chaos Idea, nonetheless retains a spot on our greatest stealth video games listing to this present day, however its predecessor, Pandora Tomorrow, is simply as gripping. The second-best-rated recreation within the sequence, per its 93 Metacritic rating (simply behind Chaos Idea on 94), it added the likes of laser sights, cowl transitions on doorways, and the power to whistle to draw enemy consideration.
Whereas many of the Splinter Cell video games constructed for PC have had standalone listings on Steam for a while, Pandora Tomorrow has been an uncommon outlier. Nonetheless, that simply modified. With little or no fanfare, Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow has arrived on Steam and is purchasable instantly. It is also joined the not too long ago rebranded Splinter Cell Legacy Assortment, a bundle that now collates all six mainline video games collectively.
Whereas its addition is surprising and stunning, it does coincide with the discharge of Splinter Cell Deathwatch, the brand new animated sequence that goes stay on Netflix as we speak, October 14. Clearly wanting a whole assortment of all of the Splinter Cell video games prepared and ready for anybody that enjoys the Netflix sequence, Pandora Tomorrow was the lacking puzzle piece that is been discovered simply in time.
Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow is accessible on Steam proper now with a 40% introductory low cost, making it simply $5.99 / £5.39. Nonetheless, if you happen to do not personal any video games within the sequence on Steam already, may I like to recommend the Legacy Assortment, which now options Pandora Tomorrow and is presently 75% off, costing $13.45 / £10.88. Whereas a few of the later video games aren’t fairly as scorching as the sooner ones, it is nonetheless a cracking deal for stealth followers.
