Ubisoft announced the Splinter Cell remake nearly four years ago, but the project has stayed largely out of sight. Now, new comments suggest that Ubisoft’s ambitions go beyond a single stealth revival, pointing to additional projects and even cross-media spinoffs.
Splinter Cell remake progress remains unclear
Derek Kolstad, showrunner for the anime Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, recently hinted that Ubisoft is being careful with its IP. In an interview, he mentioned that the studio had blocked some creative choices, explaining that “they’ve got other plans.” This suggests that the remake isn’t the only focus, even if Ubisoft is keeping specifics behind the curtain.
New leaks suggest Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Remake will add RPG mechanics, a new pirate-era story, and launch in 2026.
Fans wait while Ubisoft shapes its stealth revival
The last official word on the Splinter Cell remake came back in 2021. Since then, updates have been minimal. Hopes spiked during Summer Game Fest 2024 after a teaser suggested a reveal, but nothing materialized. That silence has stretched patience thin, even as Ubisoft appears to be shaping a bigger franchise revival.
What Ubisoft’s plans could include beyond the remake
While Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed details, industry chatter points to a range of possibilities:
- The long-promised Splinter Cell remake
- Anime-inspired spinoffs tied to Deathwatch
- Expanded storylines with new operatives
- Experimental stealth projects outside the main arc
Will 2025 finally bring Splinter Cell back?
The wait has tested even the most loyal fans, but the payoff could be worth it. If Ubisoft delivers both the remake and new entries, players may see the franchise return in more ways than expected. For now, the shadows hide the details—but anticipation for the Splinter Cell remake continues to grow.
