It looks like we might be getting a new Splinter Cell game, and Ubisoft could reveal it as early as next year. VGC reports that the developer has greenlit its first mainline game in the series for close to a decade in a bid to win back fans who have been frustrated by recent efforts to "revive the franchise" on mobile and VR platforms.
VGC also reports that it isn't clear which studios are working on the project, though sources suggest that a studio outside of Montreal is leading development. The game is reportedly still in the early phases of production, but there's still a tiny chance Ubisoft could reveal it next year. We've reached out to Ubisoft for comment and will update this story if we hear back.
The most recent Splinter Cell game we got was Blacklist back in 2013, though Ubisoft has revealed that a VR game and Netflix series is in the works. Quizzed about the lull in mainline entries, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot told IGN that the series needed to evolve before it made its return.
