It was the American site PlayStation Universe that spotted the ad in question. Ubisoft Toronto is currently looking for a screenwriter to offer players a proofreading of the original script: “Using the first Splinter Cell game as our base, we’re rewriting and updating the story for a modern audience.” is it thus specified in the announcement and, further: “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.It remains to be seen what Ubisoft Toronto means by “modern audience”.
The studio had said that it was reassuring about its general approach to this remake when it was announced in the columns of the official Ubisoft website. Matt West, the game’s producer, said: “One of the things that I think is really exciting about this project is that the last two games that we all worked on were really big worlds.“. The producer here refers to far cry 6 and Watch Dogs: Legion, the last two productions the studio was involved with. He pursues : “This means that the decision economy is very scattered, whereas what I love about a Splinter Cell map is that every square inch represents intentionality (…). Every square inch is part of a choice, or directly offers a choice, or has a direct branch. That gameplay density is front and center in Splinter Cell, and that’s going to be very, very important to us.“
According to this newly published announcement, we are probably still far from the release of the title, and the platforms concerned have not even been revealed yet. It will therefore be a question of being patient before discovering the first concrete demonstration of the noble intentions of Ubisoft Toronto.
