Splinter Cell remake update brings more bad news for exhausted fans UbisoftThe director of the Splinter Cell remake, David Grivel, recently exited Ubisoft after more than a decade; such news has once more left fans concerned for the franchise\u2019s future. Ubisoft announced Splinter Cell\u2019s return in late 2021, promising a reimagining of the first game developed by Watch Dogs: Legion\u2019s Ubisoft Toronto. The publisher\u2019s proprietary Snowdrop engine will power the remake, with its impressive inner workings allowing the team to target next-gen visuals and enhanced gameplay mechanics. Of course, the franchise\u2019s dynamic use of lighting and shadows will also benefit from the power of Snowdrop. But other concerns about the project have bubbled to the surface in recent days. Splinter Cell remake loses its Game Director, David Grivel Ubisoft Toronto Game Director David Grivel has announced his departure from Ubisoft on LinkedIn. \u201cAfter more than 11 years at Ubisoft, it is now time for me to go on a new adventure,\u201d Grivel wrote in his post. Grivel began his journey at Ubisoft with Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. Since then, he\u2019s taken part in projects such as Splinter Cell Blacklist, AC Unity, and multiple Far Cry entries. As of writing, there\u2019s no word on who will fill Grivel\u2019s shoes in the role of Game Director for the Splinter Cell remake. Naturally, fans have already begun expressing concerns for what David Grivel\u2019s may mean for the Splinter Cell remake. Users on Reddit aren\u2019t sure of what to make of the news just yet, with one person saying they\u2019re optimistic Grivel\u2019s departure won\u2019t impact the game. However, that same user is also pessimistic \u201cbecause Splinter Cell fans can\u2019t catch a break.\u201d Considering the brand has lain dormant for a decade, such pessimism is more than understandable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
