Publisher Ubisoft has announced a Splinter Cell remake, which is currently in development at their subsidiary Ubisoft Toronto.
The Splinter Cell remake currently has no release date and no confirmed release platforms.
“Ubisoft has greenlit the development of a Splinter Cell remake that will draw from the rich canvas of the brand,” reads the announcement. “Led by Ubisoft Toronto, the game will be rebuilt from the ground up using Ubisoft’s own Snowdrop engine – the same engine being used to develop Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, as well as Ubisoft’s upcoming Star Wars game – to deliver new-generation visuals and gameplay, and the dynamic lighting and shadows the series is known for.”
Furthermore, it’s worth pointing out that Ubisoft Toronto is hiring new staff to work on the remake. You can apply over on their website.
