Splinter Cell Remake Still in Development as Ubisoft Posts New Job Listings

Nearly five years after Ubisoft announced a remake of the original Splinter Cell, the project has yet to show a single second of footage — but new job listings suggest it's still alive. Insider Gaming spotted several open positions posted in the last few months, including level designer and producer roles.

Job listings alone don't tell you much about where development actually stands — studios hire and lose people constantly — but they do confirm the remake hasn't been quietly shelved. This isn't the first time listings have surfaced for the project, though Ubisoft's ongoing corporate turbulence makes it hard to read too much into any single signal.

The original Splinter Cell launched in 2002, and a lot has changed since then — geopolitically and in terms of what the series itself became. Later entries like Conviction and Blacklist leaned hard into action with systems like Mark & Execute, and it's still unclear how much of that DNA the remake will carry or whether it'll push back toward the slower, more methodical stealth of the first game. Splinter Cell Blacklist in 2013 was the last mainline entry, but Sam Fisher has stayed visible through guest appearances in Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six Siege. A Netflix animated series also dropped recently, with Liev Schreiber stepping in as Fisher's voice after Michael Ironside held the role for years.

For now, the remake remains one of gaming's more mysterious projects — announced, confirmed alive by job postings, and otherwise completely silent. Given Ubisoft's current state, fans will likely be watching every new listing closely.
