Neues splinter cell: Neues Splinter Cell offiziell angekündigt

Remake kommt! Erste Infos zur Neuauflage

Die Gerüchte bewahrheiten sich: Splinter Cell bekommt ein waschechtes Remake. Also keine aufpolierte, sondern eine von Grund auf neu entwickelte Neuauflage. Fans hoffen schon seit Jahren, dass Ubisoft die beliebte Reihe fortsetzen würde. Diverse Hinweise verdichteten die Vermutung, dass sich etwas in die Richtung bewegen könnte.

Und nun ist die Schleichkatze offiziell aus dem Sack: Ubisoft setzt auf die moderne Snowdrop-Engine, um den Stealth-Klassiker in die Gegenwart zu hieven. Damit kommt das leistungsfähige Codegerüst zum Einsatz, das bereits The Division 2 und das kommende Avatar-Spiel technisch antreibt.

Was aktuell bekannt ist

In einem Blogbeitrag geht Ubisoft näher auf den Anspruch der Spliner Cell-Neuauflage ein. Demnach soll es vor allem den Geist der frühen Spiele der Serie einfangen. Die Entwickler erkennen an, dass Spieler dahingehend hohe Ansprüche an Remakes stellen.

Remake soll Original treu bleiben: Wohlwissend um die eigenen Kernkompetenzen verspricht Ubisoft zudem, dass das Spiel keine Open World bekommen, sondern wie die Vorlage auf Schlauchlevel setzen soll. Neben der moderneren Grafik sollen aber zumindest moderne Komfortfunktionen in das neue Splinter Cell Einzug halten. In Marketingsprech nennt Ubisoft das Stealth Action Redefined.

Das Gameplay soll sich ebenfalls auf den Kern der Marke konzentrieren: Situationen erkennen, Feinde observieren, unbemerkt und taktisch agieren. Aber auch dichte Atmosphäre und harte Konsequenzen für jeden noch so kleinen Fehler wollen die Entwickler beibehalten.

Neuerungen und Verbesserungen geplant: Gleichzeitig will Ubisoft aber auch noch herausfinden, welche alten Elemente es rund 20 Jahre später einfach nicht mehr geben kann, wo Verbesserungen hermüssen und wie das trotzdem den Geist des Originals bewahren kann. Es ist also längst nicht alles in Stein gemeißelt, was das Splinter Cell Remake betrifft.

Ubisoft will also das Schleichrad nicht neu erfinden, sondern auf den ursprünglichen Stärken aufbauen und sie verbessern, wo das nötig erscheint. So weit klingt das nach vielen Tugenden, die sich die Fans von einer Neuauflage von Splinter Cell wünschen würden.

Übrigens steht die Rückkehr von Sam Fisher auch bei uns weit oben auf der Liste:

Wann gibt es neue Infos?

Release noch in weiter Ferne: Vermutlich wird es noch eine ganze Weile dauern, bis das Splinter Cell Remake erscheint. Laut Ubisofts Matt West befindet sich das Spiel derzeit noch in einem sehr frühen Entwicklungsstadium. Auch dürfte es noch einige Zeit brauchen, bis Ubisoft eine größere Marketing-Kampagne hochfährt und entsprechend erste Spielszenen veröffentlicht werden.

Update On The Splinter Cell Remake Has Fans Excited

Guess what? Sam Fisher is coming to next-generation consoles with a Splinter Cell Remake. Ubisoft Toronto is developing this upcoming game, and everything suggests that we’re in for an incredible experience. But just how incredible can that experience be? Let’s find out.

After eight years, Sam Fisher returns to next-generation consoles with another entry in the Splinter Cell franchise. This isn’t surprising, considering that the Splinter Cell Remake has been rumored for months. Still, we’ve finally gotten confirmation from Ubisoft that their Toronto studio is developing the next Splinter Cell.

As a Canadian in Ontario, I couldn’t be prouder of Ubisoft Toronto for their accomplishments with Far Cry 6. However, I’m far more interested in playing the upcoming Splinter Cell Remake because it should provide an exceptional experience by incorporating stealth gameplay with shooting mechanics.

There are limited details on the Splinter Cell Remake, as Ubisoft Toronto is quiet about their upcoming game to avoid any potential leaks. This title remains in the early stages of development, meaning that character models and gameplay environments are still being designed. We shouldn’t expect any official footage for some time to come. However, there is some information about the Splinter Cell Remake we can cover.

Is Splinter Cell Remake Coming Out In 2022?

Unfortunately, there are low chances that Ubisoft Toronto will release the Splinter Cell Remake in 2022. They’ve got numerous months before the development schedule is complete. As such, inside sources have estimated that Splinter Cell won’t launch for the Xbox Series X/S and PC until 2023-24.

Game Setting, Story, And Everything We Know About Splinter Cell Remake | All Leaks & Rumors

The Splinter Cell Remake will honor & respect the original game, as Ubisoft Toronto has confirmed that linear gameplay levels are staying within this title. That means an open-world environment shouldn’t be expected for the Splinter Cell Remake, but instead, improved graphics. This will become Ubisoft Toronto’s primary focus during the early & ending stages of development. But we won’t know how the Snow Drop Engine performs with next-generation consoles until Avatar — Frontiers of Pandora is released.

Head Producer Matt West has confirmed that the Splinter Cell Remake is being redesigned and redeveloped from the ground up, meaning we won’t have to worry about a basic HD Remaster. Instead, we’ll be getting an entirely new version that focuses on retelling the origin story of Sam Fisher. Wouldn’t it be interesting to see Ubisoft Toronto remake the original three games? We think so.

Unfortunately, that’s the assortment of details that Ubisoft Toronto has confirmed. Everything from here on in is purely speculative, but we’re confident our speculations are correct. For instance, Ubisoft Toronto will have to make the Splinter Cell Remake more relevant to modern politics. If they don’t manage to modernize the storyline, some might consider the origin story for Sam Fisher as outdated. Why, might you ask? Splinter Cell didn’t incorporate the elements of social unrest & social media.

Ubisoft Toronto would be foolish not to incorporate the updated relevancy of modern politics into the Splinter Cell Remake. If they told an expansive storyline that saw Sam Fisher fighting against the Chinese or Russians, it’d become a popular game throughout numerous counties.

[Update, September 22, 2022]

A job listing for the Splinter Cell Remake has appeared. The team over at Ubisoft are looking for a scriptwriter. Through the job description, however, we find out something very interested about the game.

Using the first Splinter Cell game as our foundation we are rewriting and updating the story for a modern-day audience. We want to keep the spirit and themes of the original game while exploring our characters and the world to make them more authentic and believable.

As you can see, Ubisoft actually wants to «rewrite and update the story for a modern-day audience», so something that we actually predicted, if you read the part before this update. We think that’s a great idea and can’t wait to see what Ubisoft will come up with. Though, if they’re still looking for personnel, we’re assuming that the game is a long way off, probably heading towards a 2024 release date.

Stealth Gameplay in Splinter Cell Remake

Ubisoft Toronto’s Matt West confirmed that stealth gameplay is returning to the Splinter Cell Remake. However, we don’t know how much Ubisoft is leaning towards the stealth gameplay or shooting mechanics. It’s been suggested that the Splinter Cell Remake could maintain similarities to Metal Gear Solid 5. Despite that, we’re confident Ubisoft will try to separate itself from Kojima Productions and continue the legacy of Splinter Cell. It would be foolish to eliminate the core gameplay feature this franchise is known for, and that’s its unique version of stealth.

Is Splinter Cell Remake Getting Released Onto PC And Xbox?

It’s guaranteed that the Splinter Cell Remake will launch on the Xbox Series X/S and PC, as Ubisoft doesn’t have any agreements that would force them to launch this game under the PlayStation banner. Plus, there are few chances that such an agreement will ever be made between Ubisoft and PlayStation.

This means we can expect the Splinter Cell Remake to launch sometime in 2023/24 for the Xbox Series X/S and PC. It’ll also come to the PS5 for you PlayStation fans out there.

Is Splinter Cell Remake Part Of The Game Pass On Xbox?

Here’s where things start getting complicated. The Splinter Cell Remake won’t launch for some time on the Xbox Game Pass, and we’re predicting that Ubisoft won’t authorize this game until 2025. Why, might you ask? Because investors will want to ensure that projected revenues for the Splinter Cell Remake are made. Otherwise, developing this game will have been useless on a financial level. Therefore, you shouldn’t expect Splinter Cell to become available for download on the Game Pass until 2025.

Game Trailer and Demo

We haven’t received any official footage for the Splinter Cell Remake. However, we’ve acquired an insightful video that details the original game and how the development took place. However, you could tell there was an active effort to avoid talking about Splinter Cell’s Remake.

This is disappointing for countless fans of this franchise, including me. But have some hope because we’ll get an official trailer by the latest of E3 2023.

Game System Requirements

Ubisoft Toronto is utilizing the Snowdrop Engine for the Splinter Cell Remake. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen any games launched under the Snowdrop Engine as of yet. That means nobody can accurately describe the game system requirement for this upcoming title. However, you can expect that some upgrades will be needed. I’m expecting that we’ll all need updated CPUs but not GPUs.

On Tuesday afternoon, August 9, explosions took place in Novofedorovka village, Saksky district of Russia-annexed Crimea, killing one person and injuring seven others. Local residents told Reuters they heard at least 12 explosions around 3:20 p.m. local time.

The head of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, said that one person, who was a civilian, died as a result of the explosions.

The region’s Ministry of Health reported that as of 20:00 Moscow time, «seven people, including two minors, were injured as a result of an accident in Novofedorovka, Saki district. The nature of the injuries was shrapnel wounds.»

Six victims have already been sent home, only one is in a moderate condition in the Saki district hospital, he underwent a chest operation, Crimean Health Minister Oleg Kryuchkov said.

According to local authorities, a five-kilometer cordon zone has been introduced, and 30 people have been evacuated from nearby houses, but there is no general evacuation in the area, they say.

This is the first such event on the territory of the peninsula since the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The Russian military claims that what happened is the result of non-compliance with fire safety rules.

«Hopki» in the Crimea?

More than 200 km from Novofedorovka in the Crimea to the nearest positions of the Ukrainian armed forces in the Kherson region. The availability of missiles of the corresponding range in the Armed Forces of Ukraine or deliveries from Western countries was not publicly reported.

«Today is a historic day! «Claps» in the occupied Crimea! Yes, not just anywhere, but at the military airfield of the Russian Aerospace Forces. At the airfield that is protected by the famous Russian S-400 air defense systems and where a large number of military aircraft are concentrated,» — Yury Mysyagin, Deputy Chairman of the Ukrainian Parliament Committee on National Security and Defense, wrote on Facebook.

«Maybe Ukraine has already received ATACMS missiles for HIMARS with a strike range of 300 kilometers? Are these strikes by our partisans?» Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs, asks questions on his telegram channel.

The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense later stated that they could not determine the cause of the fire and explosions, but warned that Russia could use the fact of the fire in an information war.

Or just a fire?

The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that several aviation ammunition detonated on the territory of the Saki airfield near the village. Aviation equipment at the airfield is not damaged, according to the Russian side.

The main reason for the explosion of ammunition at the airfield, according to a TASS source in the Russian military department, is a violation of fire safety requirements. There are no signs and facts of deliberate impact on ammunition in order to undermine, he claims.

According to the website of the Russian Defense Ministry, airfield personnel in Novofedorovka are training carrier-based aircraft of Russia’s Northern and Black Sea Fleets.

  • The battle for the south: when and how can the Russian army launch a further offensive in Ukraine

Until the spring of 2014, the military unit of the 10th Naval Aviation Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was located at the air base in the village of Novofedorovka. She is known for the fact that during the seizure of the Crimea by the Russian military, she was almost the only one who was able to quietly transfer her aviation equipment to the mainland of Ukraine.

After the annexation of Crimea, Russia continued to use the airfield in Novofedorovka for military purposes. This air base has been used since the beginning of the war for attacks on Ukrainian positions — in particular, in the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.

​Zvezda reporter Andrei Lunev, who was blown up by a tripwire in Shirokino, has regained consciousness, the channel’s website says.

“He regained consciousness. But he speaks slowly and little, ”said the workers of the Novoazovsk hospital, where the wounded Lunev was taken. Doctors diagnosed the journalist with cerebral edema and a penetrating shrapnel wound to the head. He also received multiple shrapnel wounds to the chest and legs. Now the issue of transporting the victim to Donetsk is being decided. The man needs to have an operation. In addition, he lost a lot of blood.
