It controls the sprint function fine and climbing thru windows works as well. This game is supposed to have Xbox controller support for the PC, but I've been experiencing problems with the A button. The wait for it could be long, and by then I may have changed my mind.īut with this fall and holiday season set to be dominated by big and loud first-person shooters like Call of Duty Vanguard, Battlefield 2042 and Halo Infinite, the promise of a new stealth game could be a great palette cleanser.Playing on the PC, problem with my Xbox controllerNewbie here. Nevertheless, I’m just happy that there’s some compelling evidence that a new Splinter Cell game is in the works. An open-world or immersive sim take on Splinter Cell wouldn’t float my boat, as I think other studios (Arkane and Bethesda) are better at those. Ideally, I’d like to see Ubisoft go back to the older Splinter Cell games for inspiration and make a proper pure-stealth game where sneaking and not shooting is key. Equally, I don’t want to see Ubisoft do what it’s done with the Assassin's Creed series, which is almost unrecognizable from the first two titles Valhalla is really good, but its DNA is much-altered from Assassin's Creed 2, a game I really enjoyed. Sure, Splinter Cell needs to be different from the last few games, as they arguably lost the essence of the first three titles. “The last time we did a Splinter Cell, we had lots of pressure from all the fans actually 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.”
“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,” said Guillemot. Last year Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot told IGN that the Splinter Cell franchise needs to evolve before a new game is greenlit. Head way from the lightīut some caution is needed here.
So the rumor that a new Splinter Cell game is in the works has got me quietly excited.

Sometimes being given a restrictive environment to navigate with just a few tools is just as fun as tackling a large hub area with an arsenal of gadgets, guns and powers both scratch that problem-solving itch.Īnd following the release of the latest Bond movie No Time To Die, I’m more than ready for some spy-centric gaming. Arguably, the fantastic Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the closest to a spiritual successor to Splinter Cell, but it was also very systems led, had an open world setting, and could be easily played with all guns blazing.Īs much as I love the bouquet of options these games give me, as well as the stealth elements of PS5 exclusive Deathloop - my contender for game of the year- I, like other Splinter Cell fans, would love a pure stealth game to sink my teeth into. Games like Dishonored have leaned heavily on stealth, but are more about exploiting systems and tools than lurking in the shadows and making use of a night vision headset. Ubisoft’s early Assassin's Creed games were more about traversing buildings to avoid guards than sneaking, and Assassin's Creed Valhalla very much embraces combat over stealth. While there’s no shortage of games with major stealth elements, I feel there’s not been a mainstream third-person game that’s done near-pure stealth like the first three Splinter Cell games.
