7 Dead Video Game Franchises That Need A God Of War-Style Reboots

7. Splinter Cell

It's pretty much confirmed at this point that we're getting a new Splinter Cell come E3 (nice one, Walmart), but we still have no idea what kind of reboot Ubisoft will deliver. What we do know, however, is that Splinter Cell Blacklist financially underperformed for the company despite its critical success, perhaps suggesting that Ubisoft should go back to the drawing board when plotting Sam Fisher's next espionage adventure.

Taking inspiration from God Of War's reinvention would make for a fresh look at the franchise, especially if Ubisoft move forward with an older, grizzled Sam Fisher with a completely original set of mechanics to fit his age. Much like God Of War, having the veteran agent reflecting over his morality stricken career as a trained killer would make for a deeper dive into the character than ever before, giving players a protagonist they can relate to on a more personal level.

Bringing back Michael Ironside would be the cherry on top of the cake, providing fans with a game that stays true to the series roots whilst simultaneously giving new players an inclusive entry point to jump aboard. If there's any company that could benefit from reinventing the formula it's Ubisoft, and Splinter Cell could be just the title to start with.
