New Splinter Cell
It feels like the latest entry in the third-person stealth series, Splinter Cell: Blacklist only came out a few years ago, but it’s actually been six years since that game came out and now you probably feel very old.
While Blacklist was praised for its use of stealth, its multiplayer mode, and Sam Fisher’s narrative, the game managed to underperform according to Ubisoft, even after selling over two million copies.
The lack high sales is probably what caused the series to become stagnant in recent years, but I think it’s time to bring Mr. Fisher out of the shadows and announce a new Splinter Cell game at E3 2019, even if it’s slated for a next-gen launch.
Taking some time to cook in the oven would work wonders for the series, as Blacklist lost points in its reviews for having not-so-great visuals, lack of polish, and some frame rate issues.
Having the game come to a next-gen console will hopefully rectify those issues thanks to the upgraded hardware, but we’ll see. Ubisoft has been pretty quiet on the series as of late, but we would still love a good AAA stealth game this holiday season.
