Splinter Cell Remake Might Be Getting Teased by Ubisoft Ahead of June Showcase

Announced two years ago, Ubisoft has been quiet when it comes to Splinter Cell Remake news, but it looks like that could be changing soon.

Over on Twitter/X, Ubisoft Toronto, the studio behind the upcoming remake, has changed its profile banner to that of the Sam Fisher’s familiar three-eyed goggles with the familiar green lights.

This was also the case for the studio’s Facebook page as well:

While I realize we might be grasping at straws here, the fact that this profile picture change comes just a day after Ubisoft announced a new Ubisoft Forward event for June 10 probably means something. I mean, what better way to charge up your showcase by revealing gameplay and maybe a release date for the long-awaited game, right?

According to Ubisoft, the Splinter Cell Remake will rework the original game’s story to fit a more “modern audience.” If you’re worried that this might deviate a bit much from the franchise’s gameplay, don’t be, as Ubisoft also confirmed that the core experience will remain faithful to the original material.

For those not familiar with the franchise, the first Splinter Cell game was released back in 2002, and was seen as a competitor of the Metal Gear Solid franchise given the two franchise’s focus on stealth-action. While we’ve seen multiple sequels with Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, Double Agent, and Conviction, the game’s last mainline entry was Splinter Cell: Blacklist released in 2013, which also brought back the asymmetrical multiplayer mode Spies vs. Mercs.

Could we be getting new Splinter Cell Remake news in June? I wouldn’t bet against it.
