It’s been seven years since Splinter Cell: Blacklist came out, and the wait for the next access of the series becomes increasingly tortuous every day (especially due to the lack of love of the criminals that the industry has shown towards the stealth genre). recent years). There has been no shortage of leaks, rumors and hypotheses about a new Splinter Cell game, and the request for new access is almost deafening at this point, however Ubisoft has little interest in creating a major new game in its beloved stealth series.
Well, that’s probably not so true. Speaking recently in an interview with the Italian online page Multiplayer.it, actor Luca Ward, who has voiced Sam Fisher in the Italian dubbing of 4 of the show’s six main games (all Double Agent and Conviction), said in unclear terms that he knows very well that Splinter Cell will return. He said a new game was scheduled to come out this year, but after being rejected, probably due to COVID-19, it can also be released next year.
“There’s a throwback from Splinter Cell that pretends to be a conclusive episode, but I’m not sure about that part,” he said. “They have not yet decided whether to do so in 2021. It was due to be launched in 2020, then COVID-19 occurred, and several primary projects in 2020 were delayed. Others continued, such as Cyberpunk 2077 in which he almost finished working. »
He added: “But I’m sure Splinter Cell will come back, that’s a fact.”
Given the time we are waiting for a new Splinter Cell and the number of times we have been burned by leaks in the past, it is more productive not to take this as a confirmation until we hear something official from Ubisoft; Ward does, of course. . Array has a long history of candor, which certainly gives it a lot of legitimacy. Anyway, it’s more productive not to be too sure of anything right now, you know, for your own reason.
About a year ago, reports emerged that no new Splinter Cell projects were being developed. A few months later, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said the company was looking to use Splinter Cell to deliver “a new type of experiment, even more on other devices.” Soon after, a report stated that an exclusive Splinter Cell virtual reality game was being developed.
