Ubi Montreal’s Marketing Manager Christophe Grandjean announced via Twitter today that Splinter Cell Conviction has been delayed until April 2010. It’s only a couple months, however it makes sense seeing as Bioshock 2 is going to steal the limelight in February, and it wouldn’t want to compete with Final Fantasy XIII in March.

There has been no official press release so far detailing why.

Also from his Twitter stream, it appears a new Assassin’s Creed is due to be released during fiscal 2010-11. It remains to be seen if this is Assassin’s Creed 3 or another game tied to the trilogy.
