So, as we’re building it from the ground up, we’re going to update it visually, as well as some of the design elements to match player comfort and expectations, and we are going to keep it linear like the original games, not make it open world. Although we’re still in the very earliest stages of development, what we’re trying to do is make sure the spirit of the early games remains intact, in all of the ways that gave early Splinter Cell its identity.
So, I think it kind of has to be a remake as opposed to a remaster. The gaming public now has an even more refined palate.

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.

And when will Splinter Cell return? There have been persistent rumors Ubisoft is working on a new entry for the past couple years, and Sam Fisher recently showed up for a cameo in Ghost Recon Wildlands. Expectations are going to be sky-high whenever Splinter Cell returns. The “we can’t bring back Splinter Cells unless we can do something new with it” reasoning feels a bit hollow, given Ubisoft’s penchant for pumping out similar Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry games, although devs being wary of the franchise due to pressure from fans certainly rings true. So, we have to follow what they like to do." Also, because of Assassin's Creed and all the other brands taking off, people wanted to work on those brands more.
