Ubi Soft® Entertainment, one of the world’s largest video game publishers,
announced today that it will release Tom Clancy’s Splinter CellTM for the PlayStation®2
computer entertainment system as well as for Nintendo’s GameCubeTM and Game Boy®
Advance by spring 2003. Impatient fans will be treated to a PC-version of the
blockbuster game earlier this year.

Since its initial release for the XboxTM video game system in November 2002,
Splinter Cell has gone on to sell 1 million units in North
America alone and 600,000 units in Europe. It boasts an average
rating of 94.4 (out of a possible 100), based on a sample of 54 reviews, and
was most recently awarded GameSpy’s Xbox Game of the Year 2002 title. . . .

Splinter Cell on the Xbox has already been one of the most talked about games
in the industry during this holiday season and the game is now anticipated to
be very popular on the other platforms this spring. By expanding the game’s
release, Ubi Soft confirms its commitment to offer outstanding moments of entertainment
to all players as well as its long-term ambition for the Splinter Cell brand.

“With its all-around stupendous reviews and now its record sales,
Splinter Cell is blazing a trail the likes of which the industry has rarely
seen. We are eager to take the run-away success of this game to an even wider
audience,” said Yves Guillemot, President and CEO of Ubi Soft Entertainment.
