Splinter Cell: Conviction Delayed

Sam Fisher’s latest espionage excursion has hit a lot of hiccups since it was announced years ago. Ubisoft announced today that the game is going to be delayed beyond its previously projected February 23 release.

You can now expect Conviction to hit in April 2010. Ubisoft’s upcoming WWII RTS, RUSE, is also being pushed back to a release window of April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011.

Given that Splinter Cell: Conviction was originally estimated to be out in 2007, is anyone else getting a whiff of Duke Nukem Forever here?
