Sam Fisher would not be proud of this stealth
[Update:Ubisoft has sent us its official statement concerning this matter: “Julian was obviously joking as Julian likes to do. It looks like our creative directors are having fun right now. We do not have any announcements to make at this time.]
For a couple years now, we’ve been left to assume that a newSplinter Cellis just a matter of time. At E3 2017, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said “All the [Tom]Clancygames are really coming along, so we are not forgettingSplinter Cell.” The last entry in the series was 2013’sSplinter Cell: Blacklist, so Sam Fisher has certainly waited his turn.
The wait may be over.The Division 2‘s creative director may have just revealed a newSplinter Cellgame in the most unceremonious way. With a glass of vino in his hand, Julian Gerighty tweeted:

Although framed as an accident (his next tweet reads“Ok — plz don’t retweet. I may be in trouble.”), it probably isn’t. Gerighty’s avatar is the trademarkSplinter Cellnight vision goggles. Also, this would be an incredible blunder from someone in such a public position about a project that’s supposed to stay top secret.
Rather, this is likely the start of the marketing cycle for a newSplinter Cell— a stark contrast to the elaborate live stream production thatGhost Recon Breakpointgot last week. But, there will almost certainly be more pomp and circumstance at E3 next month or whenever this game gets a proper reveal.
