Fans rejoiced in late 2021 when Ubisoft revealed that it’s working on a Splinter Cell remake. However, that project’s director has apparently left the company, and it’s not clear what impact his departure will have.
As first spotted by VGC, director David Grivel announced the change on LinkedIn, saying that he was going on a “new adventure.” Grivel previously worked on Splinter Cell Blacklist, as well as a number of other Ubisoft franchises, including Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry. Last month, Ubisoft Toronto published a job posting that called for a scriptwriter to rewrite the original Splinter Cell’s story for modern audiences.
