Development and release
On 15 December 2021, Ubisoft formally announced that a remake of the original Splinter Cell was green-lit, led by Ubisoft Toronto.[5][6] The announcement noted the use of Ubisoft’s in-house Snowdrop engine and emphasized that the remake would be built from scratch rather than simply remastered. The concept arts was posted by Ubisoft as a celebration of 20th anniversary of Splinter Cell franchise.[7] The director, David Grivel, left the project in October 2022.[8] Grivel would eventually return to the project in December 2, 2025, continuing his role as director.[9]
According to producer Matt West and creative director Chris Auty, the remake will keep the game’s linear mission-based structure rather than shift to an open-world format, and strive to preserve the “feel” of the early games (e.g., using darkness, gadgets, infiltration), and the idea of being a ghost in the shadows. The team has said that while the core will be faithful, some design elements will be updated to meet modern player expectations (controls, UI, comfort options).[10]
