Splinter Cell 5, Far Cry 2 leaked

[Dark Drakan]

Someone's having a very bad day at French publishing giant, Ubisoft this morning, as 2GB (yes, 2GB) worth of top-secret images somehow found its way onto the internet, detailing unannounced games like Splinter Cell 5 and Far Cry 2.

The images, which we obviously can't post if we want to hold on to our houses, include new looks at already-announced titles like the gorgeous Assassins Creed, as well as the first confirmation and looks at titles like Far Cry PSP, Rocky PSP and Shaun White snowboarding.

But by far the hottest images in the leaked batch are those showing art from the next Splinter Cell, called Splinter Cell Conviction, an all-new Prince of Persia and a sequel to Crytek's Far Cry.

There's a treasure trove of top-secret game details revealed in the images (which we erm, saw on a mate's PC) including Far Cry 2's multiple 'urban, desert and jungle' environments, and Splinter Cell Conviction's Washington DC locales. Far Cry 2 also appears to include a destructible weapon system, along with some distinctly 'next-gen' visuals - although it's pure speculation at this point what system the game is heading for.

When we contacted Ubisoft, we were expectedly given a very big "no comment." Perhaps, with X06 only seven days away, some of these images will become public domain within the week. Until then; sit tight and don't do anything naughty.

Amazing how it never ceases to stun half the world when stuff like that leaks, even though nearly every game published has something ripped off on it early, be in game-code, screenshots, or the entire game itself...
