Previously unmentioned for GameCube, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory will now release in March 2005 along with the Xbox, PS2, and PC versions which were pushed back from a fall release date. It seems that Ubisoft wanted gamers from all four markets to experience the game simultaneously, but rumors suggest that they may have wisely ducked out of the oversaturated 2004 holiday season. The brief media release is below:
