Sam Fisher officially joins Ghost Recon Wildlands from tomorrow

Ubisoft has detailed the mysterious Splinter Cell/Ghost Recon Wildlands crossover it teased last week, confirming that Sam Fisher will join Wildlands from tomorrow.

Fisher arrives as part of Special Operation I - the first of four free updates planned for Ghost Recon Wildlands' new season of content, due to launch on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 tomorrow, April 10th. The update will include various Splinter Cell themed goodies, including a new PvE mission, a new PvP class, and new customisation items.

Wildlands' Splinter Cell PvE mission will be set at night and is, unsurprisingly, focussed around stealth. Here, players - either working solo or co-operatively in groups of up to four - can help Fisher (once again voiced by Michael Ironside) complete a high-risk infiltration mission in fictionalised future Bolivia. Ubisoft says the new mission is "one of the most difficult [...] the Ghosts have ever faced". You can see some of it unfolding in the trailer above.
