The game is set in a third-person perspective so the protagonist and the objects around him are visible. As well, there is voice integration with Xbox 360's Kinect peripheral, which allow players to say things to distract enemies and then attack. The player can also use the Kinect sensor to control the protagonist with their body instead of the Xbox 360 controller.
In the Wii U version, the Gamepad controller's touchscreen acts as an interface to access gadgets and other features from the protagonist's arm-mounted computer, or OPSAT. It also incorporates the screen and motion controls to highlight enemies through thermal vision when using the Killing in Motion mechanic.

Main Game
Sam Fisher and Victor Coste leave Andersen Air Force Base, when a terrorist organization suddenly assaults the base. Assisted by hacking specialist Charlie Cole, Sam and Vic manage to escape, but Vic is injured shielding Sam from a grenade. Soon after, a faction called "The Engineers" takes responsibility, and announces a series of attacks on the United States called "The Blacklist," which will continue until the U.S. Government recalls all troops deployed abroad.
US President Caldwell assigns Fisher, Cole, Isaac Briggs and Anna Grímsdóttir to a new special ops & counter-terrorism unit called "Fourth Echelon." Charged with stopping The Engineers, the group uses the "Paladin" cargo plane as a command center. Fourth Echelon first aims to secure Andriy Kobin, a CIA hostage believed to hold information on The Engineers. Fisher extracts him from a safe house in Benghazi, and learns that his associates have ties to The Engineers. Infiltrating an insurgent stronghold, Sam finds an executed US soldier and, upon watching a recording, learns the executioner is Majid Sadiq; a former MI6 agent, Sadiq demands Fourth Echelon cease interfering.
Despite intel suggesting Dallas as the next target, Cole notes Engineer tampering with the Chicago "do not fly" list. Believing the target is a water filtration plant near Navy Pier, Fisher infiltrates and prevents a biological agent being released into the water supply. Kobin then reveals that Reza Nouri, a mercenary supplier, may also be tied to the Engineers. Sam assaults Nouri's mansion and, when Nouri's mansion is assaulted by Quds Force agents, extracts Nouri for information. Learning of an Engineer sleeper cell in London, Fisher infiltrates an abandoned mill and discovers chemical bombs in the shipping bay. Opening a bomb to plant a tracking device, Fisher exposes himself to nerve gas. Incapacitated and dying, Fisher is captured by Sadiq, only to be rescued by Briggs; in the ensuing confrontation, Briggs lets Sadiq escape to provide first-aid to Fisher.
Fully healed, Fisher infiltrates the former US embassy in Tehran, now occupied by the Quds Force. Fisher rips data from the building mainframe, hoping to find information on the Blacklist; the rip yields no Blacklist data, absolving Iran of involvement. The GPS tracked bomb then arrives with three others at Philadelphia. Finding four bombs being loaded onto trains, Fisher and Briggs follow the bombs to a transit yard and disarm them. Boarding a departing train of Engineers, Fisher fights through the cars and pursues an Engineer leader, who escapes into a station only to be killed by a police officer.
Briggs uses his CIA credentials to have Fisher committed to Guantanamo Bay, allowing Fisher to further interrogate Nouri. Nouri confirms Sadiq is head of the Engineers, and reveals Sadiq knows the identities of Fourth Echelon's leaders. Escaping the prison, Briggs and Fisher reach the Paladin in Yucatán, only to narrowly escape when the plane is attacked. Taking off, the Paladin suffers a cyberattack directly from Sadiq. Computers and engines failing, Fourth Echelon narrowly restarts the plane with Kobin's help, only to find Sadiq has already executed a Blacklist attack on the largest US oil reserve (in Louisiana).
As the President starts continuity of government procedures, Fisher shuts down the burning plant, averting a chain reaction to the next reserve. Capturing another high-rank Engineer, Fisher learns Sadiq's final plan: expose all US military secrets. Meanwhile, Sadiq kidnaps a group of high level personnel, including the Secretary Of Defense, and holds them at the Site F government bunker under Denver International Airport. Despite direct orders from the President, Fourth Echelon infiltrates the base by a blackout landing. Despite Cole counter-hacking Sadiq's team, Sadiq's men capture Briggs and torture the Secretary of Defense into authorizing the transfer. Briggs intervenes, killing the Secretary and stopping Sadiq's plan.
The Engineers attempt to flee Site F using Briggs and the hostages as human shields. Fisher, disguised as a Air Force hostage, helps the Delta Force marksmen open fire on Sadiq and his men. Sadiq escapes on foot after wounding Briggs, before Fisher disarms and seriously wounds Sadiq. Sadiq boasts that he has already won: if he dies, twelve nations backing The Engineers will declare war on the US, but if he is put on trial, he will leak US information. Out of options, Fisher spares Sadiq but employs Fifth Freedom, unofficially imprisoning him. President Caldwell publicly covers Sadiq's imprisonment by announcing his death, and the game closes as Vic and Fisher prepare to interrogate Sadiq.
