We’ll keep an eye out for any new updates on this, so stay tuned.
Ubisoft’s beloved stealth franchise Splinter Cell has been on the ice for almost a decade, with 2013’s Splinter Cell Blacklist being the last time we saw a new full-fledged mainline entry in the series, and fans have been begging for a sequel incessantly.
Grubb writes that though it wasn’t explicitly stated to be a new game in the series and was merely a vertical slice of a tutorial section, it “had the appearance of a new Splinter Cell prototype”, and combined the series’ stealth action gameplay with elements taken from the Hitman (2016) reboot.
Grubb says that though he cannot confirm the veracity of the report based on what he’s heard from his sources, he does know that one of several games that Ubisoft was testing over the summer around E3 earlier this year may have been a Splinter Cell game.
