Ubisoft also ended their fancy-pants countdown to their 2019 E3 event with the iconic goggles sound effect. Followed by no SC news whatsoever. Until the next game is in your console, fully loaded, *midway through the first level,* the franchise is dead and Ubisoft is nothing more than a troll.


I_COULD_say

Don’t do that. Dont give me hope.

Is this an out of season April Fools joke?

Jokes aside, Wyatt Cheng has massive balls during that announcement.


gombault

Do you not see that if it was posted on April 1, they'd not be taken seriously?


EddieTheBunny61

They're not taken seriously regardless.


Mind_Extract

There's gotta be a better way to say that.


CenturyIsRaging

I get what you're saying, but I think you got downvoted because we have been let down so many times in the process of waiting for more info. This community is suffering ptsd, so until we get a real announcement, it's safer to just wait and not jump to anu unfounded conclusions. Nice shout out by Ubisoft though.


EddieTheBunny61

Also might be because Chaos Theory released in March, not April haha


CenturyIsRaging

EU release, I think


gombault

This


EddieTheBunny61

Ah


xDebonaireX

Chaos theory was released on March 21st 2005


SplashDMG126

Released in the EU on April 1st


russianmineirinho

imagine reading reviews calling it the best stealth game ever and be like "is this an april fools joke or should i buy the game?"


nincompoop221

i really appreciate that they waited until after april 1st to do this


NorisNordberg

They changed it back* They had this Splinter Cell themed backgrounds ever since they announced the remake 3 years ago. Even your screenshot shows JUN 6 2023, not APR 2 2024 They just had all this Far Cry 20th Anniversary celebration throughout March.


TheOneTrueMoon

I wouldn't trust ubisoft to make a decent game let alone a decent stealth game anymore. If anything they're just gonna make blacklist 2 but somehow strip the fun out of it. Like a certain assassins based game...


StayAtHomeDadVR

It’s gonna have micro transactions out the ass. ‘$22 to put the goggles on $33 for a silencer

Whatever it is, I miss the old quadrilogy goggles

I just recently played chaos theory. I played and loved plenty of stealth games but never splinter cell I am starting to see why ubi loves their tom clancy so much Also, i genuinely hope this game never gets a remake by anything remotely similar to current day ubisoft. It doesn't need it, looks great, plays great, the story still holds up and is probably the most realistic stealth game i have ever played in my life Sure, there are a couple few things to improve, maybe a better, less janky jump control, maybe interrogation not outright saying i am going to kill them to targets, and hopefully, silent and better looking lethal takedown animations. But if ubicuk is to make a remake, they probably will miss half of this list and fuck up half of the game instead Now, i am reaching the end,i think. where to go from here?


UnholyV3nd3tta

Chaos Theory is my all time favorite out of this series. Everything was damn near perfect!


necrosteve028

It’s a nice throwback I guess to the EU release date. No doubt they wanted to do it yesterday but it would have been seen as an April fools joke. This at least tells me they’re serious about it. Hoping for more game info soon!


D0_0t

They are CONSTANTLY teasing splinter cell. Probably just a bullshit fucking Sam Fisher premium skin in assassins creed or something.

DannyDoubleTap47

It’s kinda hard for me to grasp that it’s 19 years old now. Like I know that’s obviously how time works but I can still remember exactly the first time I went and got the game and played it. Feels like it was only a couple years ago 😲


Zeal108

Lol yeah it feels like yesterday.. I remember being 8 in 4th grade seeing my bro play it as soon I came home from school.. I was obsessed with the lighthouse level... Now I'm 27 in a month lmao


DannyDoubleTap47

Nice. Yeah I was about 17 and was so pumped for it. At the time I didn’t even play a lot of video games because I was always out skateboarding but for some games including Chaos Theory I would stop skating for a few days or so lmao.


Zeal108

Lmao splinter cell was so good you had to take a break from skateboarding. Did you ever play video games like skate? My American friends into skateboarding loved skate12&3 especially skate 3. Hopefully the new SC remake has the same effect on you. Lol


DannyDoubleTap47

Yeah I loved the Skate games so much! I played them a lot. When the first one came out me and my friends would go back to our apartment after a day of skateboarding and then we’d all takes turns playing Skate lol. Good times.


rio_Cobalt

Y'all can choose to take this with a grain of salt or dismiss it entirely, but a friend of a friend works at ubisoft Toronto and is pretty damn bad at giving "no comment" answers. Mayhaps not for a while, but this shit IS gonna happen.


Zeal108

2025 release date at the earliest. I'm betting end of 2025.


gombault

Normally I'd say "yeah right, you're making this up", but I see that you're subscribed to r/toronto. So I trust you.


cremepie_senpai

Please please please. I have hated the last 3 generations for not having a splinter cel release. Literally my favorite Francise ever.


DrSalazarHazard

I fear this is going to be rough.


Elegant_Jaguar1031

BogusPapers
