Ubi Soft Entertainment Gives Xbox Gamers More of Their Favorite Game With Free Download

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - February 19, 2003 - Ubi Soft Entertainment, one of the world's largest video game publishers, announced plans to release Kola Cell, a new level for the highly successful videogame Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell(TM) available for download via Xbox (TM) Live.  Sam Fisher fans won't have to wait long!  The new mission for Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell will be available to Xbox Live subscribers beginning March 14, 2003.

"Ubi Soft thanks Tom Clancy Splinter Cell fans for their continued support by providing a free downloadable mission that is just as exciting and intense as the original game," said Tony Kee, vice president of Marketing for Ubi Soft Entertainment. "We are psyched that Xbox Live allows us to bring our best content directly to our fans."

"We're pleased to deliver this extra level of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell through our Xbox Live service," said David Hufford, Xbox marketing manager. "Xbox gamers dug the original game so much that they are fiending for new content that will extend the life of the game, adding hours of intense stealth-action Sam Fisher style!  It's an excellent example of what Xbox Live gamers expect from many of the hottest games on Xbox."

About the Mission

The new mission is a whole new experience linked to the original storyline featuring the same stunning graphics and challenging exercises from Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell-one of the highest rated games for the Xbox(TM) video game system from Microsoft with an average rating of 94.4 (out of a possible 100) based on a sample of 54 reviews. In this new level, with his famous gadgets at hand, Sam can call upon his best moves-from the split jump to the stealth roll-to achieve his four objectives.  The new level promises to be action-packed to give a new challenge to the players who completed the game.
