Ubisoft's beloved Splinter Cell franchise has taken a back seat in recent years but with the announcement of a remake, players are desperately waiting for an update on Sam Fisher's return. Announced in 2021, the development studio Ubisoft Toronto has been very quiet when it comes to discussing the project, leading many to fear the worst. According to insiders, the game is still happening and while it won't be released any time soon, Ubisoft may already have a launch window in mind.
Per Insider Gaming, the Splinter Cell remake is being produced under the codename "North" and is looking to drop in 2026. Further insight into the project is limited but it's also claimed that the game is being developed in the Snowdrop Engine which was most recently used for Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws. It's worth bearing in mind that when the remake was first announced it was still incredibly early in its development cycle, so it stands to reason that Ubisoft Toronto hasn't shared much in the last few years; As 2026 inches closer, Ubisoft will likely share more official updates.
Ubisoft has been having a rough time lately as its recent releases have failed to impress both fans...
