Ubisoft has announced a new mode for Splinter Cell Conviction with the introduction of a co-op campaign mode that acts as a prequel to the single player storyline. Follow the trail of intel from St. Petersburg to the Caucasus as the player works in tandem with their teammate or engage in one of four co-op battle modes on XBox Live or split screen. The story for the co-op campaign is as follows:

“Four Russian EMP weapons have been stolen and need to be retrieved before they are sold on the black market. Third Echelon and their Russian counterpart, Voron, must work together to recover the warheads, sending American agent Archer and Russian agent Kestrel deep into the heart of Russia’s dark and perilous underworld. Together, Archer and Kestrel will embark on a mission that will require their cooperation and combined skills that will test their mettle every step of the way.”
