Til trods for at Splinter Cell-serien engang var blandt Ubisofts mest genkendelige og succesfulde brands, så er der godt nok gået lang tid siden vi har hørt livstegn fra serien. Der lader til at være problemer med at få etableret en konkret identitet midt i udgiverens andre, lignende serier.
For nylig talte Ubisoft-chefen Yves Guillemot med IGN Unfiltered, og her afslører han at det har været lidt svært at finde en brand-identitet til Splinter Cell, og han kan faktisk ikke sige mere end at vi på et tidspunkt vil se mere til serien.
"When you create a game, you have to make sure you will come with something that will be different enough from what you did before. Last time we did a Splinter Cell, we had lots of pressure from all the fans saying, 'Don't change it; don't do this; don't do that.' So some of the teams were more anxious to work on the brand."
"Now there are some things and some people that are now looking at the brand; taking care of the brand. At one point you will see something but I can't say more than that. Also, because of Assassin's Creed and all the other brands taking off, people wanted to work on those brands more. So we have to follow what they like to do."
Det lyder ikke fortrøstningsfuldt, vel?
