After teasing Splinter Cell fans with Sam Fisher cameos in Ghost Recon Wildlands, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, and now Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft has announced that there is indeed a new Splinter Cell game in the works - and it's for VR.
The next Splinter Cell game was unveiled as part of Facebook Connect, which highlighted the new Oculus Quest 2 along with a raft of software planned for the new headset. Oculus announced a partnership with Ubisoft which includes bringing two of its banner franchises to VR: Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell. Both games are being developed by Ubisoft's North Carolina studio Red Storm, in collaboration with Ubisoft Reflections, Ubisoft Dusseldorf, and Ubisoft Mumbai.
"Ubisoft is bringing two of its AAA franchises to VR with new entries in the Assassin's Creed and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell universes", the Oculus announcement reads, without providing any further details about either game. "We're excited to share more with you soon, so stay tuned!" And that's all they have to say about them today, unfortunately.
