We've got more exciting news to share today, as according to a new report, Ubisoft is finally working on a brand-new Splinter Cell game! This report comes from prominent leaker Tom Henderson and the folks at Video Games Chronicle.
According to them, "development sources" have told the publication that the title is being used to "win back fans frustrated by recent efforts to revive the franchise in the mobile and VR spaces." It's said to be in an early phase of production, "led by a studio outside of [Ubisoft's] traditional Montreal base", and could be announced next year.
Ubisoft was reportedly approached by VGC for comment, but declined.
As you may well know, there hasn't been a new mainline Splinter Cell game since all the way back in 2013, so we've been waiting almost a decade for this apparent sequel. We're just keeping all our fingers and toes crossed that it's real.
What are your thoughts on this? Let us know down in the comments section below.

Can't wait to buy sticky shockers and night vision goggles in the store.
Don’t … don’t give me hope.
I hope this is true this time.
This is awesome if true. I love Splinter Cell… but shouldn’t this be labeled as a rumor? Regardless, I’m clinging onto hope. It’s been far too long since the last entry!
coming soon splinter cell royal. 100 player last agent standing.
Mobile or game as service I bet (or both at the same time lol)
I’ll believe when I see it. We’ve been hurt before. I don’t trust Ubisoft to do any thing that’s “for the players”. But one can dream.
I will believe it when it's announced. All these fake rumors.
Doubtless it will be a Games as a Service type game that no-one actually wants, or is that just me being cynical...?
To be honest, I no longer trust that Ubisoft can make a good Splinter Cell game.
Laughs in oculus quest 2
Please don't be sh*t
I REALLY want a new Splinter Cell. But I have to agree with many industry veterans like Ryan McCaffrey, Alanah Pearce, David Jaffe and more who've all cautioned to be careful what you wish for with Splinter Cell.
Do you really believe a 2021+ Ubisoft won't make this into an online live service, map marker driven hellfest? I want Splinter Cell... but not like that.
Hoping, perhaps beyond hope, I am wrong!
@Originut Same. If they hire Ironside to voice Fisher again, that'll go a long way. But even then...we need Splinter Cell more than ever, if only Ubisoft wasn't behind it =(
Awesome news, Splinter Cell is an lconic franchise..
Is it gonna be more splinter cell chaos theory or splinter cell conviction?
About bleeping time ubi!
How longs it been since the last splinter cell? Pretty sure I was kid when I last played one, hopefully they make a trilogy/remastered collection first so I can get into the story again
Hoping for the best, expecting the worst.
@Originut I really enjoyed black list, too. I was pretty surprised and disappointed when I found out they didn't cast Ironside. That little snippet of him recast as Fisher on Ghost Recon made me incredibly happy, though haha. Conviction was really fun. Gonna play through them both soon. I would love a more back to classic feel, if they do make another game. Chaos Theory, but with modern controls. Dammit, now I'm stuck in daydream mode haha
Please please be true! What a franchise
@Originut I really liked Future soldier! Recently completed it.
Conviction reminded me of Batman, and I mean that in a good way haha. I loved how the enemies freaked out, and enjoyed the story and stealth. It wasn't classic splinter cell but it was definitely still splinter cell 😁
I liked Blacklist so I think it will be a great
I genuinely like them to continue what they started with Blacklist, with its Mass Effect-lite structure where the game was more open ended rather than being a straight path from start to finish. I also really liked the team they assembled on the plane that you could interact with between missions.
The stealth gameplay and unlockable equipment was also very good, you could even properly ghost a level. I really liked that there were options to go in more heavy handed or even all guns blazing too. So, yeah I’d really like another one like Blacklist.
@Originut Hahaha 😎😎
Watch it be for Stadia. Or battle Royale.
I hope it's a kind of a reboot like Tomb Raider and without the current Ubisoft sauce ...
Nice, but pleaseeee ubisoft... Please... Dont use the same stuff from breakpoint, built this from the ground up (no more glitches) bring a finished product. This game can clear your name.
I am a big fan of Splintercell.
Please just be more like the original trilogy instead of Conviction.
Exciting.
Concerning 🤔
But exciting.
