After a bit of teasing, Splinter Cell: Blacklist has just received the first actual details about its special Spies vs. Mercs asymmetrical multiplayer mode, thanks to a special gameplay video with the online experience.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist is set to deliver a brand new action stealth experience, bringing new adventures for master spy Sam Fisher.

Besides the single-player campaign, the new title brings back the classic Spies vs. Mercs online experience, once again tasking players with either controlling the quick and agile spies or the slow and powerful mercenaries on different maps.

As you can see in the gameplay video above, spies need to hack certain objectives while the mercs need to stop them by any means necessary.

You can be sure that the multiplayer mode will deliver a lot of intense action, so expect to hear even more as we get closer to the release of Splinter Cell: Blacklist in August.
