Splinter Cell remake loses another director

Ubisoft has been quietly working away on the Splinter Cell remake for over four years at this point. Unfortunately, it appears that we are no closer to seeing the game in action, as recent job listings indicate yet another change in creative leadership. 

Less than one year after announcing the remake to the world, Ubisoft hit a crossroads when the game's director left the company. A new director was appointed but as of September 2025, they too have departed Ubisoft.

As spotted by Tech4Gamers, a now deleted job post on the Ubisoft website confirmed that the studio was now looking for a third director for the Splinter Cell remake. Considering the job listing is no longer active, it could mean Ubisoft have already found someone, or it could mean that they are undergoing private recruiting.

The timing of this is pretty disappointing, as the animated series, Splinter Cell Deathwatch, has attracted an audience on Netflix and has already been greenlit for a second season.

At this point in time, it is entirely unclear how far along this remake project is. Splinter Cell isn't the only remake having some trouble either, as the Prince of Persia remake has also suffered numerous delays, despite initially being announced with a 2021 release date.

KitGuru Says: We've only really received bad news since the announcements of the Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia remakes. Hopefully that will change soon. Splinter Cell in particular should come out within the next few years to capitalise on the reignited brand recognition from the Netflix series.
