New Splinter Cell supposedly in development

A mainline console and also PC title for Ubisoft’s Splinter Cell collection is in advancement, reports Video Gamings Chronicle. The news comes right as a bastardized neighborhood of Tom Clancy fans virtually downvoted Ubisoft’s free-to-play Ghost Spy right into a delay.

Video Games Chronicle sourced its record to 2 unnamed individuals with knowledge of Ubisoft’s strategies. Lead advancement on the Splinter Cell video game is being handled by a workshop aside from Ubisoft Montreal, which created the initial of 7 video games in the almost 20-year-old collection, and also three of the others. Ubisoft Toronto managed the most recent, 2013’s Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist for PlayStation 3, Wii U, Windows Computer, and also Xbox 360.

There is “a small chance” this Splinter Cell video game could be revealed next year, VGC said. Polygon has actually reached out to a Ubisoft agent for remark.

In early October, Ubisoft introduced Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Frontline, a 100-player free-to-play shooter, would delay a shut technological examination that had been scheduled for Oct. 14. Ubisoft’s declaration gave no factor for the hold-up, yet the publisher needed to have actually observed the severe disappointment revealed in neighborhood areas like the Ghost Recon subreddit and also the announcement video’s YouTube comments.

Reaction to the free-to-play shooters Tom Clancy’s The Department Heartland, a follow-on to The Department, and also XDefiant, a mashup of 3 Tom Clancy series (including Splinter Cell) also attracted issues that Ubisoft was not listening to followers as well as their stifled demand for Splinter Cell. A remark to financiers in May that the business was focusing on development on free-to-play adjustments of the company’s greatest profile collection didn’t assist Ubisoft’s picture with followers, either.

Ghost Spy’s latest game, 2019’s Breakpoint, was really improperly obtained by the Tom Clancy’s neighborhood, which felt it wasn’t separated enough from the a lot more action-/ much less tactics-oriented The Department 2, which released seven months previously. When it comes to Breakpoint as well as Frontline, followers have actually expressed disappointment that Ubisoft no longer seems thinking about creating a single-player stealth-action video game with a straight narrative.

The statement in September 2020 that a Splinter Cell game was on the means– but for virtual reality systems– was similarly panned by Splinter Cell patriots. Prior to E3 2019, Ubisoft chief executive Yves Guillemot informed IGN that the business had been holding off on restoring the Splinter Cell series till they had a concept for a distinctly different follow up.

” When you produce a [sequel] you have to ensure you will certainly include something that will be various sufficient from what you did before,” Guillemot informed IGN. “Last time we did a Splinter Cell, we had great deals of stress from all the fans claiming, ‘Don’t alter it, do not do this, do not do that.'” Guillemot went on to state “at one point you will certainly see something, yet I can not state more than that.”

Given that 2013’s Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist, collection protagonist Sam Fisher has been relegated to visitor appearances and cameos in various other Ubisoft video games, consisting of mobile strategy title Elite Team, Ghost Spy Wildlands, and also Rainbow 6 Siege.
