We know, we know. We’ve heard this one before and have been let down too many times. We understand.
However, according to reliable sources at VGC, a new Splinter Cell is in pre-production with an announcement likely to come next year formally.
It’s not clear which studios are working on the project, though two people with knowledge of Ubisoft’s plans suggested the new Splinter Cell was being led by a studio outside of its traditional Montreal base.
The title is in an early phase of production, the sources said, but there’s a small chance it could be announced next year.
It feels as though we’ve been talking about this franchise and rumor for far too long. Let’s hope this time is the real deal and fans will have something to truly get excited about.
