New Splinter Cell
Social media and online forums have long been buzzing with users who desperately wanted to see the return of Splinter Cell. Well, this year just might be the year that fans of the franchise have been waiting for. While nothing has been confirmed by Ubisoft, there have been a few signs that a new Splinter Cell could be in the works. NeoGAF user Crossing Eden has garnered a reputation within the community for his track record when it comes to leaks related to Ubisoft. Last year, he took to NeoGAF to suggest that a new Splinter Cell could be in the works with Michael Ironside making his return as Sam Fisher.
While this is nothing more than a rumor, it does make sense. After all, the Splinter Cell movie is still supposed to be a thing–even if it has been trapped in development hell for a long time. It only makes sense that Ubisoft would want to keep the IP alive and healthy if they want a Splinter Cell film to be a box office hit. With producers finally speaking more openly about the film earlier this year, it seems like things could certainly be in motion for a major resurgence of Splinter Cell. The resurgence, of course, would begin with a new game first that could possibly be announced at this year’s E3.
