That’s right, a new mainline entry in the Splinter Cell series is in development, Video Games Chronicle reported Tuesday.
According to Video Games Chronicle’s two independent sources, this new Splinter Cell is likely not being developed by Ubisoft Montreal — the studio responsible for fan-favorite entries Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and the original Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell. However, it’s unknown as to which teams within Ubisoft are behind it.
The report also claims there’s a chance this new Splinter Cell might see an announcement next year, though the chances of that happening are slim as the game is apparently in the very early stages of production.
There hasn’t been a mainline game in this in over eight years, with the last entry being Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist in 2013.
There’s nothing else known about the alleged new Splinter Cell title at this time, but it’s safe to say fans have wanted this for a while now. After all, this series, along with Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon helped popularize the Tom Clancy brand within video games. So it’d be great to see it come back!
