Splinter Cell Remake announced by Ubisoft

[Digital X]

A long time coming but finally a new Splinter Cell game is on the horizon.

Ubisoft announcement: https://news.ubisoft.com/en-us/arti...-remake-begins-development-at-ubisoft-toronto

Ubisoft has announced that it has greenlit the development of a remake of its stealth classic, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell.

Announced on Ubisoft's website, the remake will be developed by lead studio Ubisoft Toronto, the developers of Splinter Cell: Blacklist. It will be built from the ground up using the Snowdrop engine, which is the tech being used for The Division games, the upcoming Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora game, and Ubisoft's as-yet-untitled Star Wars game.

Nice, great game, one of my favourites.

 

[COYS]

Oh wow, please don't mess this up!

 

[Amatsubu]

This is something I'd actually buy, just hope Ubi don't mess it up.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Yeah, I'd prefer a remake of an older game rather than a brand new game with the usual Ubi open world formula. Let's hope they don't try to shoehorn in NFTs or any of that crap.

Brilliant, another classic game ruined. You just know it's going to be dumbed down to buggery, so the idiot generation lap it up in spades, along with all the inevitable microtransactions, and will more than likely be given a once over with the brush of woke.

I'd like to know why they're using the Snowdrop engine though as the devs behind The Division say that engine doesn't do stealth mechanics well at all, hence why there's not any stealth mechanics in The Division games.

Oh wow, please don't mess this up!

Indeed, literally just needs to be the.same but updated!

 

[Vinno]

Hopefully it's an actual remake and not them shoehorning Splinter Cell into their typical garbage output.

 

[MouthBoy]

Yes! A remaster/remake were I can buy NFTs that will make me millions in less than 12 months!! (Am I doing it right?)

Michael Ironside back in the mix?

Michael Ironside back in the mix?

Hasn't been announced either way, but he's still working so I hope they do the right thing!

 

[AWPC]

No Ironside no point doing this as his voice IS the game!!

 

[Relentless81]

I don't have any faith in ubisoft games anymore, was bored to tears after Far Creed 122 and I doubt this will be a true to the original remake and will be full of towers to climb but here's hoping I'm completely wrong
