It's obvious at this point the Splinter Cell franchise is done and is not coming back. At least they are using the character I guess
Think they announced this a while ago. They are never making a new Splinter Cell, let's all accept this.
There probably will be another Splinter Cell. Just not what you expect...

Probably hard to use the Ubisoft Every Open World Game Is The Same formula for Splinter Cell. I mean, I can only imagine a new Splinter Cell just being what Ghost Recon's become, but with no AI allies.

I remember. It was the same time Ubi published the amazing Brothers in Arms games.
Funny you mention that. Cause Sam has been making cameos in the Ghost Recon games for special missions.
Welp...bout time for another year of replaying the previous Splinter Cell games while crying in the dark.
I mean, it makes sense I guess. Ubi probably can't crack the code. Trying to make money with a stealth game? And it doesn't fit into their open world style of games.
At this point I wouldn't be mad if they made the game episodic or something. I just want it. As long as the levels had awesome replayability. Like Hitman 2016.

Make a traditional Splinter Cell campaign. And get your recurring money from the Spies vs. Marcs mode. You can GaaS that mode all up. Release new gadgets, weapons, and characters every few months. That's fine, especially if the campaign is Splinter Cell.
I think everyone doesn't understand that those splinter cell games don't sell well. Keep hoping for them. I'm sure they'd rather just take the 20 million they are guaranted from AC. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/s...derperforms-with-2-million-sold/1100-6416144/
I don't see what's so difficult about making a modern Splinter Cell game. If they are concerned about making it a GaaS title, just make each locale semi-open world and have the missions take place in multiple locales (similar to Hitman). This would allow the player to complete the objectives in many different ways, while allowing Ubisoft to add new content at a later date.
It doesn't have to be a linear stealth game to be good, but it doesn't need to be fully open world either.

I remember when Ubi published amazing games in general. Now they settle for mediocrity unless they have someone like Nintendo to answer to.
Thinking about it more they could totally make decent money on the franchise if they also went hard on Spies Vs Mercs mode along with an awesome single player/co-op campaign. Hell, give spies v mercs seasons and operators like R6 Seige. Maybe even have some R6 crossovers for the Mercs.
You aren't getting splinter cell back, that would require a AAA dev to do something interesting. At best you get a monkey's paw scenario of a new splinter cell but it's a bland open world with a shit story and microtransactions.
Wow what a bummer. Thought it would at least be something more interesting than that.
A total disgrace to the franchise. We are in the golden age of stealth gaming and the king of stealth is not even here for 8 years. come on...
