Appears to be an embargoed press release that was published as it even has quotes about the game.

The article is in Spanish so I've machine translated it:

Ubisoft will announce today, during the Facebook Connect event held at 7:30 p.m. Spanish time, two of its main sagas adapted to Oculus virtual reality: Assassin's Creed and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell.

The titles are led by Red Storm Entertainment in collaboration with Ubisoft Reflections, Ubisoft Düsseldorf, and Ubisoft Mumbai. They are original and created from scratch for Oculus, but keeping the typical elements of each series.

"We are always exploring new ways to leverage technology to create memorable gaming experiences," says Elizabeth Loverso of Red Storm Entertainment. "Oculus' next-generation hardware will allow us to bring the worlds of Assassin's Creed and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell to life in a new way for fans. These games will take full advantage of Oculus technology to deliver immersive and emotional experiences that gamers don't. they will be able to experience the same anywhere else."

"We are delighted to be working with Ubisoft to bring two of their AAA licenses to virtual reality. They are an exceptional partner constantly creating innovative content, and Assassin's Creed and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell on the Oculus platform will be no different. Players will have impressive experiences. and immersive within two worlds that they are passionate about and that until now were only available in 2D, and we are looking forward to bringing these games made for virtual reality to fans of each series, as well as new audiences, "says Mike Verdu of Facebook Reality Labs.

Watch Sam Fisher not being the protagonist of a new Splinter Cell game, being in his nightmare of being in every Ubisoft game except his own.

No really, I don't have VR anything, but I'm excited Splinter Cell exists in the mind of someone there.

Ubi using their c-team for these. Poor VR (like PoP fans).

Pretty sure Oculus is co-funding them. Though Vader Immortal did eventually make it to PSVR so who knows.

They are definitly Oculus-funded and exclusives. We'll see if Sony decides to takes VR seriously or not if a PS VR 2 comes.

Vader Immortal VR is published by Disney Electronics, not Oculus.

These two games are like MoH VR, funded by Oculus and they will remain Oculus exclusives.

Does Facebook have any good will left among VR enthusiasts?

Plenty. They consistently put out some of the best (affordable) hardware and they're a top tier VR software publisher with some of the best VR games available made/funded by them.

Some people are (rightfully) grumpy about all things Facebook, but Oculus are still the big guys in VR.

I've assumed for a while that if another SC game was coming, it would be a VR title.

VR stealth sounds like it could be fun.

Facebook and Ubisoft is like one of the worst possible collabs in this industry. Couldn't pay me to stay further away from this.

Splinter Cell is my favorite franchise, and while I don't currently own a VR device, this very well may be what pushes me over the edge... We'll see.

It's sad this this is how we finally get a "new" Splinter Cell game.

There are so many ways to make it work, not necessarily in the Ubisoft formula, but alas.

As long as it is only a timed exclusive, I'm okay with all of this. I'll never buy an Oculus headset with all the future stupidity requiring a Facebook account.

I bet that splinter cell game will not feature Sam Fisher, he's too busy being in other shitty games.

Not thrilled about the AC title since melee VR isn't my thing but I will be all over the Splinter Cell game.

Please be long, deep and polished AAA experiences, we need more of those, not simple and short games. Alyx has ruined most of VR games for me.
