A new mainline
Splinter Cell game is in development, according to an
unconfirmed report
on VGC. This revelation is attributed to "development sources" who say this
will be an effort to win back fans turned off by
mobile and
VR
installments in the stealthy action series. VGC says it's not clear which
Ubisoft studios are working on this, but longtime Splinter Cell studio Ubisoft
Montreal may not be involved according to "two people with knowledge of
Ubisoft’s plans." The game is reportedly in early production, and an
announcement may come next year. VGC says Ubisoft has so far declined to comment
on this rumor.
