Reaction to the free-to-play shooters Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland, a follow-on to The Division, and XDefiant, a mashup of three Tom Clancy series (including Splinter Cell) likewise drew complaints that Ubisoft was not listening to fans and their pent-up demand for Splinter Cell. Ubisoft’s statement gave no reason for the delay, but the publisher had to have noticed the extreme disappointment expressed in community spaces like the Ghost Recon subreddit and the announcement video’s YouTube comments. In early October, Ubisoft announced Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Frontline, a 100-player free-to-play shooter, would delay a closed technical test that had been scheduled for Oct. Polygon has reached out to a Ubisoft representative for comment. There is “a small chance” this Splinter Cell game could be announced next year, VGC said. Ubisoft Toronto handled the most recent, 2013’s Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist for PlayStation 3, Wii U, Windows PC, and Xbox 360. Lead development on the Splinter Cell game is being handled by a studio other than Ubisoft Montreal, which developed the first of seven games in the nearly 20-year-old series, and three of the others. Video Games Chronicle sourced its report to two unnamed persons with knowledge of Ubisoft’s plans.
The news comes right as a demoralized community of Tom Clancy fans practically downvoted Ubisoft’s free-to-play Ghost Recon into a delay. A mainline console and PC title for Ubisoft’s Splinter Cell series is in development, reports Video Games Chronicle.
