Splinter Cell – are we finally getting a proper new game? (pic: Ubisoft)

Ubisoft has allegedly started work on a new mainline entry in the Splinter Cell franchise, which may be ready to announce next year.

It’s eight years since the last proper Splinter Cell game was released, with 2013’s Blacklist, and since then Ubisoft has done absolutely everything except make a sequel, with multiple cameos for protagonist Sam Fisher in other games and talk of VR titles and even a Netflix show.
