11 Video Games You Won’t Believe Are In Development

9. Splinter Cell

Metal Gear Solid 6
Ubisoft

From one weird Ubisoft announcement to another, after years and years of waiting for an announcement of any kind, it was recently confirmed that a new Splinter Cell game is in development.

However, there was no hugely-anticipated reveal at E3, no night-vision goggles descending on screen, no Michael Ironside walking on stage; just a boring old text announcement on Ubisoft's website.

Alongside a Q&A with the developers, Ubisoft announced last December that they've greenlit a full remake of Splinter Cell, set to use their brand new updated Snowdrop engine.

While any Splinter Cell is welcome at this point, it being a remake has left many fans scratching their heads. After so many years out of the spotlight, a remake rather than a new game implies a lack of confidence in the brand.

Throw this alongside rumours that Ubisoft have only greenlit it to get back in the good graces of fans after a tumultuous couple of years, and it doesn't feel like the spectacular return many were hoping for.
