As Summer Games Fest sputtered to a close this week, Splinter Cell fans were left feeling a bit duped. After publisher Ubisoft randomly tweeted a picture of series protagonist Sam Fisher just days before the annual festivities kicked off, many were sure (), there aren’t a lot of big expensive games being made in the genre aside from the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 3 remake. If you ask me, there’s more than enough room for Splinter Cell to push the genre forward.
It was a weird week for Ubisoft as a whole during Summer Games Fest. Aside from Rainbow Six Siege’s and The Division 2’s substantial updates, the latter of which is already out, they didn’t have anything to show. There wasn’t even an update for things like the upcoming expansion for Assassin’s Creed Shadows despite being out at the end of the summer. I guess we’ll have to wait until later this year to see what they may have in store for 2025.
