Hearsay – Ubisoft’s Splinter Cell Remake Being Made On Snowdrop, 2026 Launch Date

Ubisoft’s legendary Sam Fisher would possibly’ve solely made cameo appearances throughout a number of reside service video games lately, he’s due for a while within the highlight. And fortunately for the sake of the sanity of all Splinter Cell followers, Ubisoft confirmed that highlight time was coming – again in 2021.

A Splinter Cell Remake is on the way in which, and that’s about as a lot as we’ve identified about it since that 2021 announcement. Updates about it have been arguably non-existent, although a brand new report would possibly’ve simply revealed a couple of particulars.

Insider-Gaming studies that in accordance with its sources, the upcoming remake is being developed utilizing Ubisoft’s Snowdrop Engine, and the staff is taking a look at a possible launch date in 2026. Although the report does specify that the sources “didn’t need to be held to that timeframe.”

Assuming that it started improvement in earnest across the time of its 2021 announcement (or at the least in 2021) then a 2026 launch makes for a 5 yr improvement time, which isn’t all that stunning contemplating how lengthy most triple-A video games take to make.

The remake’s improvement is being spear-headed on the Ubisoft Toronto studio, which PSU had the possibility to go to earlier this yr to talk to the staff forward of the launch of Star Wars: Outlaws.

Although we have been there to speak Star Wars, that didn’t cease PSU (and each different member of the press in attendance) from asking about Splinter Cell, to which we have been informed that the sport remains to be “in stealth mode.”

Hopefully that doesn’t proceed to be the case midway via 2025, particularly whether it is meant to launch someday in 2026. Particularly since if the discharge date actually is 2 years away, then followers ought to in all probability quit any hope of listening to extra earlier than the tip of 2024.
