A report surfaced earlier this month, suggesting that Ubisoft was working on a new Splinter Cell game. And today, the French company officially announced Splinter Cell Remake. Yeap, there is a brand new Splinter Cell game in development, and it’s official.
Splinter Cell Remake will be rebuilt from the ground up using the Snowdrop Engine. The game promises to deliver new-generation visuals and gameplay, as well as dynamic lighting and shadows.
Although Ubisoft did not share any additional details, it did share a dev video. In this video, Ubisoft News spoke with some of the developers that launched the original game 19 years ago and some that are working on the remake to find out exactly what set Splinter Cell apart from the competition.
According to the previous report, this new Splinter Cell game may have semi open-world environments like those of Halo Infinite. In case you didn’t know, and contrary to other open-world games, Halo Infinite features large hub areas. Basically, think of its maps as large environments that are similar to the first Crysis game. So, this could be good news (as we won’t have to deal with Ubisoft’s tiresome open-world game design).
Lastly, and since this game is a really early development phase, we don’t know whether Michael Ironside will reprise his role.
Stay tuned for more!

R.I.P
Two problems:
“New gameplay” is a bad thing.
And dynamic lighting and shadows are a must have but modern games don’t do the types of exact shadows (stencil method) that SC used. I predict that they will not uphold the aesthetic of the original game due to too many lights not casting shadows.
I would assume that Ironside is back since he was featured in this video.
So you say this, and then complain when marketing departments misunderstand you and do what you requested. Be careful what you wish for.
Username checks out.
“Safe play” to gather old and new fans, just to later on release new game with open world, mtx etc. haha
INB4 they make it episodic like the new Hitman games…which, it could be worse coming from Ubisoft
Anyone who has played the game recently knows that its too linear and scripted with some stupid action scenes that didnt work properly in the old games due to having crappy combat because its a stealth game. So, you can bet they gonna change it and make those action scenes good and it will have some kind of rpg mechanics.
Da fck you’re talking about ?! There are no action scripted action sequences at all except for one section in the Kalinatek mission and another one in the last mission, the 2 first games are maybe linear but still give the player different options to resolve problems, and i don’t know how you think that present times Ubi can “improve” a SC game, they’re obviously not comptent enough to make this kind of games
there are at least 2 action scenes and the game is super linear.
I won’t qualifie it as “Super” linear but rather just linear which is enough, the game still offers multiple solutions to most problems, the traversal is the only aspect that is concerned by the linear lvl design
“, the game still offers multiple solutions to most problems,”
it doesnt its super linear.
A linear lvl design can still provide multiple options, for example : eliminate the guards, distract them or wait for the perfect moment to pass quietly without any contact
lol, the game is too linear to have such options.
True if you never passed the training level
true for the whole game, its so scripted that you can fail, load a checkpoint and the exact same script will play out on the npcs.
Indeed, they classic ones are fairly slow and methodic pace games…something that is a big NONO in the current generation.
The game will be probably more in line with Blacklist, which is more actioney and agressive with the stealth. Or they just make a The Division single player game with a Sam Fisher skin.
I was just assuming this remake approach the other day in a Splinter Cell article.
Heh looks like they went for Snowdrop instead, which is even better atm

Ray Traced Shadows and Ambient Occlusion, let’s go.
This game is ripe for a remake in the hands of a talented developer with respect for the IP, but we all know Ubisoft will ruin it with wokeness, microtransactions, and modern “stealth action” mechanics.
Wait to have your heart stabbed by Ubisoft with disrespect for the franchise…
But they are playing it safe as f, im tired of a the 1000000s REMAKEs man.
ME TOO! I did not want a remake of the first game, I wanted a sequel after blacklist. Tired of the remake BS.
I wanna go back to when i was a kid, to that time that there were way to many games to choose from.
Fok graphics man.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
I don’t trust current Ubisoft with the splinter cell franchise at all, expect dumbed down stealth for the casuals and echelon tokens or whatever GAAS crap they will push
You mean echelon NFTs
It’s not like they have anything else worthwhile to play. Hopefully they nail it.
Oh f*k, I saw this coming but didn’t want to believe it.
Here we go, another sh**ty remake by one of the worst companies out here.
It’s also going to be Games-as-a-Service, macrotransaction trash.

They can go and suck some diverse co?cks for all I care.
Imagine the headlines…
I will laugh if they implement all trash mechanics from SP:Convicion XD
X-ray vision, minimap, xp markers, console cover system, automatic 1 shoot kill, etc…
Don’t forget about exclusive NFT night goggles.
I hope i am all wrong about this but you know this is curent Ubisoft we are talking about.
let’s see how they turn this into modern day A****creed
Please keep the woketards away from this remake.
“Samantha Fisher” coming through! With neon colored hair and pronouns, coming through!
You’ll be able to buy a bunch of colorfull NFT hair colors for the ma’am as well as new pronouns!
A remake for “modern audiences”.
With Ubisoft, never forget this :

What a genius move. After many f*k ups release a quick damage control documentary full of promise. with out showing nothing.
I can’t help but cringe to even think of what incompetent pile of dogs**t this trash company is going to crap out for this “remake”.
If my expectations were any lower, they’d be underground.
Wow great. Can anyone remind me the last game Ubisoft made anyone actually talked about?
THEY’LL RUIN IT! That is my expectation with today’s Ubis#!t!
Exclusive first look at the new Sam Fisher https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/747e21ad96fbcab61b8c3b2fe993bdaeb16487690e9e59c95ffe3a83f9d77edc.jpg
The new Sam Fisher will be played by Elliot Page!! Ubisoft devs feel this is their first project they can really relate and feel passionate about. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/60cd52d9a9ecef31d4883616ddf0908c850d22ff25c3271055815cc2af278d38.png
That thing will commit suicide very soon, once it realizes it’ll stay single forever.
Thank you for making me throw up
I never asked for this
Smart. Such a small man can hide easily.
I just recalled … weren’t they doing a Prince of Persia Remake, too?
Can’t wait to see non-binary and racially diverse Sam (Samantha) Pescadora back in action again.
Fake and gay
Ubisoft: What if we mess this game up?
Me: I will make fun of you!
Ubisoft: Should this game not be a remake?
Me: Yes!
Glad Snowdrop is being adopted more widely. It’s a fantastic piece of tech with great potential for games built on it.
Michael Ironside or nothing.
