La deuxième journée du Festival d’Annecy, c’était le 9 juin. Un programme assez chargé, mais bon, rien de très excitant. On a eu droit à des annonces comme Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Deathwatch. Une adaptation de la série de jeux vidéo qui pourrait être prometteuse, paraît-il. Le réalisateur Guillaume Dousse était sur scène, mais honnêtement, je n'ai pas vraiment ressenti d'enthousiasme. C'est vrai que Splinter Cell a une base de fans solide, et les jeux ont marqué les esprits. Mais une série animée, c’est un peu comme un plat réchauffé, non ? On nous avait déjà servi des adaptations, et souvent, ce n’était pas à la hauteur. On espère toujours que ça va être bien, mais il y a ce petit doute qui plane. Ensuite, il y a eu Andy Serkis, qui nous a un peu déçus. Je ne sais pas, peut-être que tout le monde attendait trop de lui. Il a fait des choses impressionnantes dans le passé, mais là, il n’a pas vraiment brillé. C’était un moment un peu plat, sans surprise. Le festival en lui-même a beaucoup de projets à montrer, mais je ne peux pas m'empêcher de ressentir cette fatigue, ce manque de surprise. Peut-être que la prochaine journée apportera quelque chose de mieux, mais pour l’instant, c’est un peu un sentiment de lassitude. Bref, à suivre, mais je ne m'attends pas à grand-chose. En attendant, on verra bien ce que le reste du festival nous réserve, même si, pour l’instant, c’est un peu ennuyeux. #FestivalAnnecy #SplinterCell #AndySerkis #Animation #JeuxVidéo

Sam Fisher has been away for too longActivity on Ubisoft’s social media channels points to a potential Splinter Cell announcement, but is it connected to the remake? It’s been four years since Ubisoft announced it was working on a remake of the first Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, and we’ve heard nothing substantial about it since. Aside from some early concept art, a report last year claimed that, despite fan fears, the project hadn’t been cancelled and that it could launch at some point in 2026. Despite years of silence from Ubisoft, it seems they might finally be gearing up to make an announcement regarding the franchise. Either that, or someone on the social media team is feeling particularly torturous towards its fans. In an X post on Friday, May 30, the official Ubisoft account shared a head shot of series protagonist Sam Fisher, with eye emojis and ‘#SplinterCell’ in the caption. Weirdly, the screenshot itself is from the sequel to Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, titled Pandora Tomorrow, which was released in 2004 on PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, and PC. While many fans are hoping this is a tease for news about the remake at Summer Game Fest on Friday, June 6, or at the Xbox showcase two days later, there’s a chance it could be connected to something else entirely. On Saturday, May 31, Netflix is holding its annual Tudum event where it shares trailers and announcements about its upcoming release slate. You might have forgotten about it entirely, but Netflix is developing an animated TV series based on Splinter Cell, called Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, which is slated to be released in late 2025. More Trending There’s a chance Ubisoft is teasing an announcement regarding the latter, but that doesn’t mean we won’t see an update about the remake at some point soon. In fact, it makes sense to line up the animated series with the launch of a remake, but that depends on whether Ubisoft is feeling logical. One potential ding against the chances of an update at Summer Game Fest is the fact Ubisoft hasn’t been listed among the event’s partners so far. This in turn suggests the company is planning its own Ubisoft Forward presentation again, like it did in June last year, but there hasn’t been an official announcement yet. The last mainline instalment in the series was 2013’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist, which continued the series’ action-orientated shift, following Splinter Cell: Conviction. Ubisoft was working on a VR spin-off, but that was was cancelled in 2022.

Since announcing in late 2021 that it was working on a full-blown ground-up remake of the original Splinter Cell using the Snowdrop Engine, Ubisoft has kept awfully quiet about the game, though it seems as though that might change soon. Ubisoft itself seems to be teasing an announcement related to Splinter Cell at some point in the near future. Taking to Twitter, Ubisoft recently tweeted a picture of Sam Fisher, protagonist of the stealth espionage series, simply accompanying it with the #SplinterCell hashtag. With Summer Game Fest coming up on June 6, you can’t help but wonder if an announcement is not too far away. Meanwhile, prominent leaker Tom Henderson claims he has heard good things about the remake and how it is coming along. Taking to Twitter in the wake of Ubisoft’s aforementioned tweet, Henderson wrote that the remake “looks genuinely impressive.” Hopefully, that means the game is at a stage in production where Ubisoft is finally ready to show it off. Of course, for now, nothing is confirmed, so treat any rumours with the appropriate skepticism. Stay tuned, and we’ll keep you updated in the coming days and weeks. #splinter #cell #remake #reveal #potentially
