Ubisoft har efterhånden rigtig mange kommende spil i støbeskeen, så mange så at flere af dem holder sig fra E3 for at blive færdigudviklet, såsom Skull & Bones og Beyond Good & Evil 2. Der findes dog en gigantisk skare af fans der håber på at se et nyt Splinter Cell, der lige nu bare kaldes Splinter Cell 7, men nu lader håbet om at se det her ved E3 til at være blevet knust.
For nylig snakkede Kotaku-journalist Jason Schreier nemlig om emnet i Splitscreen-podcastet (via PCGamesN), og her fortæller han at han ikke har det indtryk at Ubisoft overhovedet arbejder på det.
"I've asked a bunch of people about this, because everyone wants to know, right? Everyone wants to know if a Splinter Cell game is coming. Everyone I've talked to has said, "no." As far as they know, there's no Splinter Cell in production. That said, it's impossible to prove a negative. It's impossible for me to definitively say ever, "this thing is not happening" at any given point. Because even if the people that I've talked to are not briefed on it, it may still exist. So I would say chances are low... The only thing I can say pretty definitively is that there's no Splinter Cell coming out in the near future."
Her taler vi om at produktionen måske ikke engang er gået i gang, som efterlader os med lidt af en ventetid til det næste kapitel.
