Splinter Cell remake: everything we know so far
It feels like the Splinter Cell remake has been underway for quite some time, which isn’t helped by the fact that it’s been over two years since we heard anything official about the game. From what we’ve seen so far, the team behind the remake seems to be aiming to rebuild the stealth game for a whole new audience without straying too far from the source material. But like we said, it’s been a while since we’ve had an update on its progress.
Despite this distinct lack of updates, it’s still easy to understand why the Splinter Cell remake is one of the most anticipated games on the horizon, considering how groundbreaking the original game was when it released in 2002. No doubt it paved the way for the third-person stealth games that followed, and we expect the remake to improve on this classic experience, but redesign it for a more modern experience.
Here’s everything we know about the Splinter Cell remake so far, including a look at the initial announcement and all the news that has come out since. As more becomes known in the future, this page will be updated.

Splinter Cell remake story and setting
We know that the Splinter Cell remake will revisit the world and story of the first 2002 game.
The original plot begins with two undercover US agents going missing in Georgia, leading to black ops agent Sam Fisher being sent to investigate. As Sam searches for the missing agents, he uncovers a larger conspiracy involving a corrupt government and nuclear missiles.
It is unclear how much of this parcel will remain in the future Splinter Cell remakehowever, as Ubisoft confirmed in a (now deleted) job posting from September 2022 (via Tech4Gamers) that it “rewrites and updates the story for a modern audience”.
“We want to maintain the spirit and themes of the original game while exploring our characters and world to make them more authentic and believable,” the listing said. So while producer Matt West has previously noted that Ubisoft wants to make sure the “spirit of the early games remains intact,” you can expect a few updates.
Splinter Cell remake gameplay
In the announcement blog postproducer Matt West revealed that the Splinter Cell remake is being built from the ground up, so players can expect visual and design updates. West also confirmed that, contrary to rumors, the remake will be linear and will not feature an open world. No further details have been shared at this time Splinter Cell remake‘s gameplay.
However, since this is a remake of the original title, we can expect the features that have been made Splinter cell so iconic will be present here. Stealth was always the operational goal in this series; using the environment around you, the lighting and flexible movement was preferable to brutally forcing your way through obstacles. The first game is very linear, with Chaos Theory being the first to change things up with a more open structure. It mainly involved tight corridors, extremely dark environments and a finale that took place in a presidential palace.
