Gamers looking forward to seeing their first glimpse of the upcoming Splinter Cell remake may have to wait a while longer, as a trustworthy insider has alleged that the title won't be getting a reveal trailer anytime soon. Given how long fans of Ubisoft's iconic stealth franchise have impatiently anticipated an update on the next installment in the series, this report will likely disappoint many if it turns out to be true. At the very least, though, the news that Splinter Cell may be a potential no-show in the immediate future will help to keep fans' expectations in check for the upcoming gaming showcases scheduled throughout the remainder of June 2024.

The Splinter Cell remake was unexpectedly revealed by Ubisoft in December 2021, with nothing more than a behind-the-scenes developer video and a hiring announcement. At the time, the French publisher didn't share much information on the title, since it was so early in production. It did reveal, however, that Ubisoft Toronto—the creators of 2013's Splinter Cell: Blacklist—would be the studio tasked with leading development on the game. Recently, though, Ubisoft announced that its Toronto division is now collaborating on another project, as the studio is currently working alongside Ubisoft Montreal on the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake. Some took this as a sign that the next Splinter Cell game may have wrapped up production and could be close to release, but it sadly appears that isn't the case.

Don't Expect to See the Splinter Cell Remake at Ubisoft Forward

Though this news may disappoint fans, it could suggest that Ubisoft is taking its time to ensure this remake ends up being one of the best Splinter Cell games yet. Time will tell if it lives up to the hype.

With the Splinter Cell remake seemingly being out of the picture for any of the upcoming summer showcases, gamers may have to wait until late 2024 or 2025 for an update on the title. In the meantime, though, Ubisoft fans have 5 other games to look forward to that'll likely make an appearance at the company's event on June 10, like Assassin's Creed Shadows, Star Wars Outlaws, The Division Resurgence, XDefiant, and Rainbow Six Mobile.
