About
OPERATE WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS
Sam is back in his tactical suit and goggles, more lethal and agile than ever. Granted the freedom to do whatever it takes to stop the Blacklist, he races across the globe to uncover the source of this devastating threat.
OWN YOUR PLAYSTYLE
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist builds on the franchise’s stealth roots while expanding into action and adventure. Players can define their own playstyle and are rewarded accordingly:
- Ghost players remain undetected.
- Assault players confront threats head-on.
- Panther players strike silently and lethally with precision.
TOOLS OF THE TRADE
Take down the Engineers using advanced gadgets like the upgraded Snake Cam and the Micro-trirotor Drone. Fan favorites return, including the Sticky Shocker and the brutal curved Karambit knife. Stealth enthusiasts can abduct and carry enemies, while the Killing in Motion system lets players mark and execute multiple targets in one fluid, cinematic move.
BUILD A NEW ECHELON
Sam is forming a new Echelon unit: his team, his rules. Anna “Grim” Grímsdóttir returns as technical operations manager, CIA operative Isaac Briggs brings firepower, and hacker Charlie Cole rounds out the crew. Fourth Echelon operates from the Paladin, a repurposed stealth airliner equipped with unlimited resources and cutting-edge tech.

Reviews
Would love to recommend, but it's unstable to the point of being unplayable. Took me a good while to get it to even launch, but then had constant CTDs, cursor flickering all over my screen, audio issues, and more.
The last great splinter cell game; oh wait it was actually the last one 💀.. But seriously its an amazing game. Can't expect ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to make a game like this in 2026, it was actually their last non-open world single player game which didn't had copy paste content for 100+ hrs........

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 10: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

[b] IMPORTANT SO IT WON'T CRASH: Go to game's properties on steam library and put this in the launch options so it won't crash: -offline -offline_mode [/b] --------------------------------------------------------------------- For some reason people don't bother to try to find fixes, all they do is put negative reviews for the most lame reasons, regardless if the developers have neglected it after they closed down the servers. There are guides for everything these days. Great underrated game, with very few issues, and it is very much a very complete game with a lot of content (especially at release before the servers shut down). People only hated it because of Sam Fisher's "look" and "new voice" which is just nitpicking, for the look yeah he doesn't look like him but the voice isn't that bad, the original actor couldn't perform as he had health problems. Try to get through and stop nitpicking, that's all people do and it is a shame because it is a very well made game. If you are able to pass the first 2 difficult missions you will understand it is a great stealth game and it has an option for aggressive gameplay too, though it is far less slow than the original games and has less very much almost no night locations it still works on its own. The animations and a lot of gameplay mechanics are ahead of their time for 2013, the acting is great, and even the story is really good, the level designs are all really well made and it has a lot of replayability. Here is a good gameplay showcase youtube video of "aggressive stealth" of what you can expect if you learn this game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS09JZYs38Y Stealth games are still slow even if they made this one slightly faster, so unless you don't have the patience or the attention span, this game is NOT for you, other than that I recommend it if you will bother trying to learn how to play it. If it wasn't for Sam Fisher's look and voice, plus his storyline still not coming to a nice conclusion, aside other tiny issues it might be a perfect game, it is that well made for being from 2013. Either 8/10 or 9/10.
(June 24, 2026) To get Blacklist to start on Windows 11, delete systemdetect.dll Steam 2 Controller does not work. If anyone finds a solution please message me the steps. ~ Muah, happy gaming. =================== Update (6/30/2026): Installed on DIY PC running Steam OS (3.9 beta channel). Steam Controller 2 works. Blacklist boots AFTER logging into Ubisoft. Ubisoft box will popup after you click on the game. User must login before game fully opens.
Game is good. Went to play the game again for the first time since it released and I forgot my password to ubisoft connect because why on earth do I need to log into something I havent touched in literally 13 years just to play a game, tried my three usual passwords + number combos and account got suspended from wrong PW input. Eventually just did the password reset through email and even though i reset my password using MY EMAIL, my account stays suspended and it won't let me play the game because i can't log into ubisoft connect. love buying things i cant get access to! so fun! Edit: Finally got access to my account and logged in. Now when i hit launch on steam, and log in through ubisoft connect, it launces ubisoft connect, then closes but never launches the game no matter how many times i hit play on steam. Wonderful experience! Thanks Ubisoft!
Великолепная игра. Возможно одна из лучших игр Юбисофта. Зашел перепройти перед 007 First Light и получил колоссальное удовольствие при прохождении на ветеране без убийств. Дорого, богато, с великолепной постановкой и зрелищностью. При этом игра не потеряла тактическую глубину. Наверное это идеальная стелс игра до сих пор.
what absolutely sours my experience, is that you have to sign in every time into Ubisoft connect. Essentially you need an internet connection to play this single player offline game!!!!
Crashes every 15 minutes and is less a stealth sandbox and more a collection of stealth themed missions from a mid-tier Call of Duty game
Every purchase of a Ubisoft game is another reminder not to buy a game from them. These worthless monkeys make me enter my password EVERYTIME I launch the game. They couldn't be bothered to fix basic launch issues. The only reason I even bought it is because I had it on xbox360 and figured it was good so there will be no way they ♥♥♥♥ it up. Guess I was wrong. I am now trying to start the game but I have to jump through Ubisoft Connect hoops for single-player. DO NOT BUY UBISOFT GAMES
This game is amazing, however with the constant crashes when trying to start the game, the game does not start and if it does say that it is "running", there is nothing showing. I have tried 19 times on 2 different computers, and the results are the same, constant crashes and no actual game playing. I have tried multiple "fixes" to get the game to run, but nothing worked. It's a shame, because this game is amazing and fun, but the constant issues before the game even start and it makes this game painfully unbearable.
