Splinter Cell Upcoming Reboot?
One of Ubisoft’s old crown jewel was the award-winning stealth video game series of Splinter Cell and it truly set a landmark upon its debut in 2002. The franchise gave us some pretty good story of black-ops agent Sam Fisher and unbelievable stealth in gameplay, which made the series into the legend it has become; spawning games like Chaos Theory and Pandora Tomorrow.
The last game of the Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell series was released five years ago from now and that was 2013's Splinter Cell: Blacklist. The game took a slightly different path than the other titles of the series and replaced Michael Ironside as voice actor for protagonist Sam Fisher. Not surprisingly, the game heavily under-performed and Ubisoft was not quite happy with the reception it got. So, considering these facts they shelved the project and moved on with a Splinter Cell movie adaptation but even that faced some trouble with scripts.

However, fans of the Splinter Cell series may rejoice a little as an apparent Amazon listing of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell 2018 showed up under Ubisoft for a very brief time and eventually taken down even sooner. Before the takedown, a Reddit user named HurtPotato was able to take evidence for the internet. The game will most likely be released for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, while a Nintendo Switch version is uncertain.

Since E3 2018 is getting very closer, we can only assume that Ubisoft just don't want to reveal anything at all before they do on that big event. That means, fans of the franchise can expect official news regarding Splinter Cell this summer and at this point an E3 reveal would only make sense for a game that has been on a hiatus for this long. Because, we definitely are not going to have another Assassin’s Creed game this year after Assassin’s Creed Origins and Ubisoft will look for something to fill in.
RELATED: The Division 2 Announced
Last year at E3, Yves Guillemot, CEO of Ubisoft stated that they haven't forgotten about Splinter Cell in response to a question regarding the future of the series. Looks like things are all adding up themselves and we just need some official announcement right now. We hope that the developer make a great comeback in 2018 with the newest Splinter Cell title. Also, we are hoping to get some better look at upcoming The Division 2 that was announced a few days ago.
