Henderson says that the production is still early and there could be a big announcement of it later in 2022. If true, this will be the first game to be in production since the last one, which was over a decade already. What this means is that it will not be just a side story, or a part of a mobile game, it will be its own game and will be part of the Splinter Cell saga. Popular leaker Tom Henderson has recently shared this juicy news on media outlet VGC, revealing the supposed-to-be new Splinter Cell game a mainline entry in the series. "Now there are some things and some people that are now looking at the brand, taking care of the brand, so at one point you will see something, but I can’t say more than that," concluded Guillemot.According to a popular leaker, there is a new Splinter Cell game being developed by Ubisoft right now. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot previously said, "The last time we did a Splinter Cell, we had lots of pressure from all the fans actually saying, ‘Don’t change it, don’t do this, don’t do that,’ so some of the teams were more anxious to work on the brand." The forced removal of stealth in sections of Splinter Cell Blacklist didn't sit well with some players, something the publisher seems acutely aware of.
Part of the reason for this might be, ironically, the game's fans. But he hasn't appeared in the one place his presence is sorely wanted - a proper Splinter Cell title. Since Blacklist in 2013, Fisher has appeared in many forms - as a Netflix anime character, as an operative in Rainbow Six: Siege, and even as an easter egg in a recent Far Cry title.

Fans are also more than a little done with the constant teasers for new games in the series that never amount to anything. The grizzled veteran of several mainline Splinter Cell titles spanning 2002 to 2013 recently turned up in Ubisoft's much-maligned Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, which was heavily criticized at launch. Ubisoft's efforts to take the series in the direction of mobile games and VR, with the now-defunct Tom Clancy's Elite Squad and the to-be-released Splinter Cell title for the Oculus platform, have not proved as popular as the publisher might have liked.Įven series protagonist Sam Fisher's recent cameo appearances could have gone better. The company's most recent reinterpretations of Splinter Cell were not especially well received. Unfortunately, that can't be taken as confirmation that Sam Fisher will be lurking in the shadows again soon, but a new game would go a long way towards redeeming the franchise. Ubisoft, when approached for comment, declined to say anything. The project is so early that an official announcement is only expected in 2022 at the soonest. The title is reportedly in the early stages of development and it's apparently being handled by a studio outside of Ubisoft's Montreal arm. The report from Video Games Chronicle claims, citing people with knowledge of Ubisoft's plans, that a new Splinter Cell game is in production. A new report claims that Sam Fisher, star of Ubisoft's beloved and long-dormant Splinter Cellseries, may be heading back for a new console adventure.
