Ubisoft’s heading into the weekend dropping an enormous tease about Splinter Cell.
As for what it’s teasing, who is aware of? The Splinter Cell collection has been sadly dormant for years now, the final sport being 2013’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Since then, we have heard little or no till Ubisoft remembered Splinter Cell existed by including Steam achievements to a 12-year-old sport only a couple of weeks in the past.
If we’re sincere, at present’s tease does not present rather more data — we have got a close-up of Sam Fisher’s face and a hashtag, Splinter Cell — however curiously, the alt description is a bit more revealing.
“Shut-up of Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell: Chaos Concept, displaying a stern expression with centered eyes, brief darkish hair, and a rugged beard, set towards a blurred high-tech background,” the outline explains. “He is locked in.”

The Final of US Season 2 will likely be at IGN Stay, in addition to Sonic Crew, Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2, Norse: Oath of Blood, and extra.
