10 "Confirmed" 2018 Video Game Leaks That Were Total Bull
4. Splinter Cell
One of the more renowned stealth-focused series of all time getting a new installment isn't exactly a surprise. Besides, with Metal Gear Solid losing its way, the stealth genre is in need of more great games in this category. Sam Fisher's been out of the game for a while now, so a return would be a long-time coming.
With that in mind, Walmart's 'leak' of Splinter Cell before E3 made gamers eager to see what direction the series could go in. Would they even stick with Sam Fisher? No matter the answer, series fans just wanted to get some new Splinter Cell content after over five years of nothing. And even though much of the Walmart leak proved to be accurate, Splinter Cell was, unfortunately, one of its few inaccuracies.
Ubisoft's E3 Conference came and went without even a slight mention of good ol' Mr. Fisher or anything related to the hit stealth series. No hints from Ubisoft that would help indicate any new installment incoming or anything, just complete silence. Until Ubisoft shows any prioritization of this franchise, gamers will be forced to look elsewhere for some espionage action.
