Since announcing in late 2021 that it was working on a full-blown ground-up remake of the original Splinter Cell using the Snowdrop Engine (on which the The Division series is also made), Ubisoft has kept awfully quiet about the game, though it seems as though that might change soon.
Ubisoft itself seems to be teasing an announcement related to Splinter Cell at some point in the near future. Taking to Twitter, Ubisoft recently tweeted a picture of Sam Fisher, protagonist of the stealth espionage series, simply accompanying it with the #SplinterCell hashtag. With Summer Game Fest coming up on June 6, you can’t help but wonder if an announcement is not too far away.
Meanwhile, prominent leaker Tom Henderson claims he has heard good things about the remake and how it is coming along. Taking to Twitter in the wake of Ubisoft’s aforementioned tweet, Henderson wrote that the remake “looks genuinely impressive.” Hopefully, that means the game is at a stage in production where Ubisoft is finally ready to show it off.
Of course, for now, nothing is confirmed, so treat any rumours with the appropriate skepticism. Stay tuned, and we’ll keep you updated in the coming days and weeks.
