Announced at the end of 2021, Ubisoft has maintained admirable radio silence on the status of the upcoming Splinter Cell Remake, so much so that rumours of its cancellation even began to crop up. Well, we have an update, with a report from Insider Gaming confirming Sam Fisher's return is still in development, known by the codename "North."
According to the outlet, Ubisoft Toronto is using the Snowdrop engine the publisher has previously employed in games like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and Star Wars Outlaws, but the project is still a long way off. Insiders' sources said we will probably be waiting until 2026 for a release date because, in classic video game fashion, the franchise-rebooting Splinter Cell game was still in the "very earliest stages of development" when first revealed.
