Ubisoft is pleased to announce today that a Splinter Cell Remake is currently in development at Ubisoft Toronto.
Sadly, Ubisoft did not announce any specifics as to what platforms the game will be released to or when it will be released. Let’s just assume it will be released in late 2022 or early 2023.
Ubisoft has greenlit the development of a Splinter Cell remake that will draw from the rich canvas of the brand. Led by Ubisoft Toronto, the game will be rebuilt from the ground up using Ubisoft’s own Snowdrop engine – the same engine being used to develop Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, as well as Ubisoft’s upcoming Star Wars game – to deliver new-generation visuals and gameplay, and the dynamic lighting and shadows the series is known for.
Splinter Cell Remake will not be a remastered version of the game that came out 19 years ago. The game is still in the early stages of development and according to Matt West, the development team will be “building it from the ground up, we’re going to update it visually, as well as some of the design elements to match player comfort and expectations, and we are going to keep it linear like the original games, not make it open world.”
