Let’s be fun and speculative for a moment. Ubisoft Toronto may be planning to lift the lid on the Splinter Cell remake at the upcoming Ubisoft Forward on June 10th.
Ubisoft yesterday announced plans to bring back Ubisoft Forward on June 10th. The first Forward occurred last year and was essentially Ubisoft’s own mini-version of E3, held around the time E3 would have taken place had it not been murdered.
On the same day, Ubisoft Toronto, which previously announced that it was working on a Splinter Cell remake, Made a few changes to the official X page. The studio replaced the header image with the iconic night vision goggles worn by Sam Fisher in the Splinter Cell franchise. They also changed the Ubisoft Toronto logo to one with a green background, referencing the Splinter Cell games.
It could be nothing or just something the company is having fun with. However, it’s a bit strange that Ubisoft Toronto decided to change the image to the classic three green lights on the same day that Ubisoft announced its second Ubisoft Forward, and to me, this suggests that they’re finally ready to show off the Splinter Cell remake. is based on the original Splinter Cell release from 2002.
Of course, we can’t ignore the idea that it might reference something else related to Splinter Cell, such as the new game. The series has been dormant for a long time, save for a mobile game released a few years ago, but it has maintained a loyal fan base awaiting its return. But considering Ubisoft’s track record, it’s hard to get any hope that a new game in the series will capture what made Splinter Cell so amazing.
