The Ubisoft team has been working on what it calls a “reimagining” of the popular Tom Clancy spy series for some time. The company re-released a trailer this month to showcase how Splinter Cell will look when released in 2019.
Ubisoft announced a remake of the Splinter Cell franchise, rebuilt from the ground up using The Division’s Snowdrop Engine.

Ubisoft has announced that a remake of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, a legendary 2002 stealth game developed by Ubisoft Montreal, is in the works.
The Splinter Cell remake is being “rebuilt from the ground up” using Ubisoft’s own AAA game engine, Snowdrop, by Ubisoft Toronto (Splinter Cell Blacklist). Snowdrop is the engine that powers Tom Clancy’s The Division and The Division 2, as well as some of Ubisoft’s most anticipated forthcoming titles, including Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
What distinguishes the new Splinter Cell from a remaster, according to producer Matt West:
A remake, in my opinion, takes what a remaster would accomplish and takes it a step further. The original Splinter Cell contains a lot of wonderful and groundbreaking elements for the time it was released, which was 19 years ago. The gaming public’s palette has become even more sophisticated. As a result, I believe it must be a remake rather than a remaster. Although we’re still in the early phases of production, our goal is to ensure that the essence of the early games is preserved in all of the aspects that defined the Splinter Cell franchise. So, when we create it from the ground up, we’ll update it graphically, as well as some of the design components, to fit player comfort and expectations, and we’ll maintain it linear, rather than making it open world, as in the original games. How can we ensure that new fans can pick up the controller and dive straight in, falling in love with the game and the universe right away?
There are no indications as to when Ubisoft’s Splinter Cell remake will be launched, but Creative Director Chris Auty claims it will serve as a “strong foundation” for the franchise’s future. The inference is that there will be a proper sequel.
