Ubisoft is reportedly working on an all-new game in the Splinter Cell series, eight years on from its last mainline installment.

Odds are many of you reading this will be fans of a series that has been lying dormant for years. So long that you might have given up hope of it ever ben successfully revived. Games getting sequels and remasters right and left will have filled you with hope, but also ticked you off a little too. If that series is Splinter Cell for you, then we may have some good news.

Sources have told VGC that an all-new installment in the main series of Splinter Cell games has been given the green light by Ubisoft. Not only that, but apparently the title is already in early development. The sources claim the project is being worked on outside of Ubisoft’s base in Montreal, and that it will likely be officially announced sometime next year.

Gamers were first introduced to Splinter Cell in 2002 which was followed up on by a number of sequels in the decade that followed. The longest Splinter Cell fans have had to wait between games before now was four years, hence the belief for some that the series had been firmly left in the past by Ubisoft. It might be a full decade since Blacklist, the last game in the main Splinter Cell series, by the time a new game arrives, but at least it appears to actually exist.

Ubisoft has faced backlash from Splinter Cell fans in the past after it seemed to be reviving the series, only to reveal it is working on a VR game. This new project is not that, and will be a fully-fledged Splinter Cell game should it ever come to fruition. Ubisoft has hinted Splinter Cell wasn’t done before now, discussing pressure from its fans to make sure a new game remains faithful to the originals but to also create something that fits a world that has moved on almost a decade.

This coupled with the arrival and success of Metroid Dread should serve as proof that no series is ever gone for good. Metroid fans had been waiting 19 years for Dread, and most will tell you the game is everything they wanted it to be and more. If Ubisoft really is reviving Splinter Cell, it will be hoping for similar reactions from its fanbase once they finally get their hands on it, probably no sooner than 2023.
