As reported at the beginning of August, Michael Ironside actually let slip when talking to a co-star during filming The Space Between, that he was "working on a new Splinter Cell". A source from inside Ubisoft confirmed to WhatCulture that this actually related to a different, smaller project (if anything), but the fact that Ironside was in the building is the first part of this confirmation.

See, back in 2013, following the positive reception of Blacklist and being on the cusp of an entire new generation of consoles, art director Scott Lee definitely said, "Sam will be back." Splinter Cell is part of the Tom Clancy brand, which especially following his passing, Ubisoft have made a point of being synonymous with.

Add the two together, minus Assassin's Creed from Ubisoft's portfolio for now, and you've got the perfect time for the franchise to make a return. Let's be honest - you don't get Michael Ironside in to record fresh dialogue for anything Splinter Cell-related, and not factor him into a full release.
