What is known

In an interview with IGN, the head of the company said thatThe Splinter Cell team was worried about the series, as fans who did not want changes put pressure on the developers. That's why Ubisoft decided to leave the series alone. Now the studio has assembled a team that will look after the brand, so that in the future, Splinter Cell fans can see a new project in the universe.

“When you create a game, you have to make sure you come up with something new that’s different from what you’ve done before,” Guillemot said.

Guillemot also noted that Ubisoft is nowis focused on more successful franchises like Assassin's Creed, so Sam Fisher will have to wait. In addition, the company needs to support service games and complete projects that have long been announced, but still cannot reach release.
