Seriously in the timespan since this Remake/Reboot was announced we had the entire trilogy of splinter cell games come out. Did Ubisoft silently cancel this game beyond good and evil 2 style or what?

Thread '[Insider-Gaming] Ubisoft Has Delayed Its Significant IP’s to Improve Game Quality'

Wednesday at 6:03 PM

"After a thorough review of its pipeline that took place from October to December, the Group decided to provide additional development time to some of its biggest productions in order to create the best conditions for success. This decision has already been beneficial to the quality of Assassin's Creed Shadows. As a consequence, FY2026-27 and FY2027-28 will see significant growth vs. FY2025-26 on the back of strong content coming from the Group's largest brands."

According to our sources and past reports, Insider Gaming understands that this includes the Assassin's Creed...

Ubisoft are probably hard at work trying to figure out how to monetize the thing. They've also been making so many open world games for years that perhaps they've even forgotten how to make an engaging linear game.

 

[kevboard]

with how bloated AAA studios are these days... it's probably almost impossible to actually make a good stealth game.

all the risk avoidance, all the "mass market compatibility" bullshit, all the expectations by shareholders for recurring revenue with micro transactions and bullshit like that... It feels impossible for something like Splinter Cell to exist

 

[Kuranghi]

Yeah it's mad, especially since Blacklist was so good, MGS V esque in it's replayability, you could drill down into the challenges so good

Please Ubisoft remake splinter cell. I always wanted to see a black / trans / female boss Sam Fisher with a boring story and idiot-proof objective markers. Please!

 

[KenaiPhoenix]

I think the question is: Do we really want to see it?

You need to remember that if it is not something like AC or Far Cry, Ubisoft is clueless on how to do a video game.

Besides Splinter Cell (the original and, imho, the best ones) are games that doesnt have mass appeal and are probably incapable to reach mass audiences without getting them filter by the stealth mechanics that where far more realistic than Metal Gear ever was (not saying this is a good way).

Im happy is they just cancel it instead of getting a dumbed down bastardized version of the games, full of microtrasanctions. Ubisoft cant make games these days.

Your first mistake is assuming it's linear. This is modern Ubisoft we're talking about.


Wouldn't be surprised if they dabbled in turning it into an extraction shooter.

Ubishit are too busy making GaaS games that will shutdown in less than a year

 

[BlackTron]

I think their goalposts keep moving of how they want the project to turn out. This can tend to happen when things are in the oven for too long. Like when a game is announced for one system and by the time it's almost ready next gen is coming and they're embarrassed. So it keeps mutating. At this point they may need to redo all the woke stuff.

It's best to enjoy the original 3 and double agent. They'd only ruin it with a remake/reboot/another shitty sequel.

 

[corgiix3]

What breaks my heart is that even if its good (if it comes out) they probably wont ship with Spy Vs Mercs since everyone is allergic to having MP as a side mode to a story game nowadays

2 years

2 years

2-3 years make sense to me. Yet its been 4 years and all we have seen is concept art

 

[Zacfoldor]

This was probably backburnered because it doesn't appeal to "everyone," just gamers.

A perfect example of Ubisoft's hubris.

2-3 years make sense to me. Yet its been 4 years and all we have seen is concept art

remember that movie teaser they plopped into the main menu for chaos theory? Yeah man, I aint believing or expecting anything from them anymore.

Versus is alive and well tho at (SCCT VS Github). Can find quite a few discords too, tho some of the attitudes may vary.

3 is minimum i think, because there are lot of gem design and not counting testing.
