When the Splinter Cell Remake was first reveals, fans could hardly believe it. For so long it looked like Sam Fisher was to remain a character Ubisoft called back to for a nostalgia hit across its other titles.
Hopefully the remake is able to invigorate the series and lead to brand new entries, but it has to be made first, and regarding that it looks like Ubisoft Toronto, the lead studio on the remake is ramping up development with multiple job listings currently up.
There’s currently 12 jobs listed across departments for Ubisoft Toronto alone to work on the Splinter Cell Remake, including gameplay animator, narrative designer, texture artist, technical director for art and more.
While this could be a sign that the Splinter Cell Remake will begin to become more of a focus across Ubisoft now that Assassin’s Creed Mirage is available, it also seems to be a sign that we still have some time before we can expect to see a release date.
No matter how long it takes, so long as it does indeed release and doesn’t get into Skull & Bones or Beyond Good & Evil 2 purgatory, that could be enough for some fans.
It would also be nice though if it was an excellent remake.
