It's been well over two years since Ubisoft officially confirmed the return of Splinter Cell with a modern remake. In development primarily at Ubisoft Toronto, we've not seen a single second of the project, save for some concept art. However, fans are hopeful that Ubisoft Forward, which returns this June, will be the stage upon which the game finally makes a proper debut.
There's slightly more to it than just wishful thinking, too. As spotted by Twitter user MauroNL3, Ubisoft Toronto updated its social media pages the day before Ubisoft Forward's announcement, changing profile images to represent Splinter Cell:
It's not much to go on. However, June will mark two and a half years since the game's announcement, so it could be high time to shine a spotlight on the remake at last — even if it's just a short teaser. Additionally, as pointed out by PC Gamer, Ubisoft's full financial results in May will reveal the full extent of its lineup for the next fiscal year, theoretically meaning it still has some things up its sleeve to unveil.
All eyes on Ubisoft Forward, then — here's hoping we'll spot Sam Fisher among the publisher's showcase in the summer. Do you think the Splinter Cell remake will make an appearance? Discuss in the comments section below.

Played my first Splinter Cell game recently (Blacklist) and really enjoyed it tbh. So much so that I’ve picked up the Classics HD Trilogy, so I’ll be keeping an eye on this remake too for sure.
@colonelkilgore imo the origionals are the best. It was all about the stealth and hiding in the shadow etc. Great times.
This game with these consoles could look truly amazing and shadows and ray tracing lighting would give it a real intense look and feel. I’m all for it. Somehow i thought this was only coming to Xbox and PC first and later on PS5. Guess i miss read that somewhere. Sure hope to see more of it soon.
@Kidfunkadelic83 yeah I have heard that as it goes… looking forward to trying them out.
Spies vs Mercs online multiplayer will make this a day 1 buy for me
Yaaay more remakes! Who needs OC!
I was convinced that this game was cancelled (I'm still not entirely unconvinced it's not). Also, this is ubisoft the game is likely going to be filled with BS microtransactions.
I’d love a remastered Splinter cell trilogy never got the chance to get the HD trilogy for PS3 as I never found a copy.
Also I expect to see something for BG&E 20th anniversary edition
Can't wait for a new splinter cell and if Ubisoft has any sense
(they don't) they will do a season pass which includes a port (ubi don't remaster) of Blacklist.
Blacklist was released just a few months before the PS4 and it is crazy that it hasnt been ported.
I honestly thought it was going to step out of the shadows back in 2018, when Ubisoft announced that it was bringing back Michael Ironside to play Sam Fisher. Turns out it was just for Ghost Recon Wildlands dlc
One of the few splinter cell games that I’ve enjoyed was Conviction. Would be great if there’s news of another entry. This franchise needs to come back.
