Ubisoft in December of last year announced a Splinter Cell remake is in development at Ubisoft Toronto.

A job posting for a scriptwriter at Ubisoft Toronto spotted by PSU reveals the story for the remake will be updated for a "modern-day audience."

"We’re working on a Splinter Cell remake, assembling a team with passion, drive and respect for the trifocal goggles," reads the job description.

"This is an opportunity to be part of a treasured franchise, rebuilt on Ubisoft’s Snowdrop engine to deliver next-generation visuals and modernized stealth gameplay, while preserving what's at the heart of the Splinter Cell experience.

"As a Scriptwriter at Ubisoft Toronto, you will join the Narrative team and help create a cohesive and compelling narrative experience for a new audience of Splinter Cell fans."

Honestly I don't even remember the stories from the original games. Always seemed a bit of a throw away. They did get better in the later games.

Samantha Fisher, your time has come. Maybe she can complain about her student debt during missions like in the Saints Row Reboot.

Hopefully they're just referring to the idea of a character working for a secret division of the NSA being a bit more controversial now.

AKA a worse game with MTX and 14 different in-game currencies that you can buy more of from digital storefronts you can buy with real money.

More importantly, are they keeping "Tom Clancy" in the name or not.

So they mean less focus on single player, multiplayer with focus on micro transactions
