Looks like Sam Fisher’s next adventure will be set on the Mediterranean island of Malta, if the latest teaser trailer for Splinter Cell: Conviction is anything to go by.

The trailer, released by Ubisoft this morning on the game’s official website, shows an orbital satellite scouring the globe for a target, eventually zooming in on Malta as a commercial plane flies overhead. A tourist island under siege, perhaps? Sounds good to us.

So what else is obvious from the trailer? Well Michael Ironside is back reprising his role as Sam Fisher and he’s as moody as ever, complaining about how he lost his daughter and shot his best friend. And you thought you were having a bad morning.

More details on Conviction are promised in the two weeks leading up until E3, with a full reveal presumably due at the “greatest show on earth” in just under three weeks time.
