When Ubisoft’s Splinter Cell came out more than two decades back, it was one of the best stealth games out there. Its success paved the way for other games that focused on the element of stealth in their gameplay. Since the game has aged a bit, fans are eagerly waiting for a new game to swing by.
The Splinter Cell Remake was announced a few years back. However, fans are still in the dark as not much has been revealed about it. While we patiently wait for the remake, some new developments have come to the limelight. These may not be official, but they do have some weight to them.
Splinter Cell Remake will make changes to the stealth mode
As a piece of good news for fans, Splinter Cell Remake is apparently on the way according to a credible industry leaker. Dataminer and leaker Visceral has taken to X to share interesting updates about the game. Going by the information provided by Visceral, the remake is being developed by Ubisoft Toronto.
They has added that the remake will come with a host of changes, which will include graphical and audio enhancements, that are sure to elevate the gaming experience for the fans.

According to claims made by Visceral, the game will feature some changes that will make things challenging in stealth mode. While the game also has an assault mode, we all know that it is best played in stealth mode. The elements of light and shadow, limited resources, game design, and rewards all complement the stealth mode.
Visceral has stated that the remake will come with raytraced reflections. This feature will make it difficult for the players to sneak around, as they will easily get spotted by enemies. As such, players will have to exercise extra precaution to go unnoticed.
If this turns out to be true, it will add an entirely new dynamic to the game and will come as a major challenge to many. With this, players would need to keep an eye on their reflection, the sound of their footsteps, and many such things that may alert the enemy.
There are other rumors regarding the remake, which suggest that the narrative of the game will be changed to reflect present-day conflicts and social issues.
When will Splinter Cell Remake come out?
While the release date of Splinter Cell Remake hasn’t been confirmed yet, many think that the news is coming soon. They are looking at Ubisoft Forward 2024 which will take place on June 10. Fans believe the game will be officially revealed at the event.
The speculation has been made after some fans noticed a change in Ubisoft Toronto’s Facebook page. The Facebook page recently changed its header to feature the game’s popular three-eyed night-vision goggles. Additionally, the profile picture has also been changed to a night-vision-like color palette.
Another source from Insider Gaming revealed that Splinter Cell Remake will come out sometime in 2025-26, as they have their hands full with other projects in the pipeline.
