Ubisoft is developing a remake of the acclaimed Splinter Cell franchise, although details about its release date are limited. During a recent conversation, Guillaume Dousse, director of the animated series Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, expressed his excitement for the project, highlighting his long history as a fan of the game. However, he was unable to provide specific information about the remake due to security and confidentiality restrictions.
Cannot talk about the details of it
Fans of the series have been waiting over ten years for a new Splinter Cell title, which has raised expectations around the remake and the potential influence of the new animated series. Dousse mentioned the relevance of stealth and strategy in the mechanics of the original game, emphasizing the importance of the remake providing an authentic experience that respects the essence of the original game.
In an interview, Dousse clarified that there were connections with the team working on the remake, and although he could not reveal details, he reaffirmed that there have been discussions about this anticipated project. “I wish I could share more,” he said with a laugh. This leaves fans with very little information beyond the confirmation that the remake is in progress, with no clear timeline for its release.
The director also addressed his desire for the animated series to drive the return of new games within the franchise. Dousse confessed his preference for a remake of the first Splinter Cell, describing it as a memorable experience that deserves to be rediscovered in its entirety, rather than simply improving the resolution. Although he doesn’t know how the animated series could translate into a game, he is eager to see how these ideas develop.
