Plot
Resigning from Third Echelon after the events of Double Agent, Sam Fisher begins to look into the death of his daughter Sarah. During his investigation, he finds some suspects in Malta who may have been involved. In the process, Sam learns that Third Echelon may actually know something, and based on an unknown tip, Sam is told to head for Washington, D.C. if he wants to know the truth about Sarah's death. To find the truth Sam must become a fugitive from the law and the organization he was once a part of.


It has been confirmed that actor Elias Toufexis (Assassin's Creed II, Deus Ex 3, Rainbow Six Vegas 2) will voice antagonist Andre Kobin


Gameplay


There is also the "last known position" feature, which occurs when Sam has been spotted but breaks the line of sight with the enemy. This produces a silhouette outlining Sam's last known position that the enemy saw him, allowing him to alter his actions accordingly.

Sam will not be able to rely on many of the gadgets that he possessed in previous games,

Conviction will also feature even more opportunities to interact with the environment than previous titles. For instance, players can now use the environment to forcefully interrogate people, either by smashing someone's head into a mirror, a urinal, or even through doors. Sam can also use the environment to find cover during firefights, which can also be shot through depending on the weapon and type of cover. Lights can be manually switched on and off instead of just shooting them or using an EMP grenade, while car alarms can be set off in order to be used as a distraction. There are dynamic objects in the environment, such as statues and flower pots that can be shot or broken in order to catch the attention of nearby guards. Civilians also play a major part in the environment. Sam can create a civilian panic by taking out his gun and using it in order to lose his enemies in a crowded environment.
