Ubisoft announced a remake of Splinter Cell, rebuilt from the ground up utilizing the Snowdrop Engine
Great news for our stealthy gurus: after rumors began to circulate a few days ago, Ubisoft has announced the remake of Splinter Cell, bringing back the critically acclaimed 2002 game while incorporating all of today's technology.
This recreation of Splinter Cell will be created from the ground up and will make use of the Snowdrop Engine graphics engine built by the Snowdrop Engine firm. Please keep in mind that this is the same graphics engine that was used in The Division 1/2 games and was also picked for the Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora game, so the results should be excellent. Ubisoft has promised that Splinter Cell Remake will have next-generation graphics, as well as improved lighting and dynamic shadows, among other things. Unfortunately, the company did not provide any additional information about the project, since it is still in the very early stages of development at this time.
Recent speculation suggests that Assassin's Creed: Syndicate will be "a more stealthy version" of the franchise, with an open world concept like to that of Halo Infinite, which has various restrictions on a standard open world. Along with the introduction of the Splinter Cell Remake, Ubisoft also posted a video in which the developers of the original game reflect on the work they did 19 years ago for the game. Also included are members of the Splinter Cell development team who will be working on the upcoming game and who will study what distinguishes Splinter Cell from other games in the genre.
As a result, Splinter Cell Remake is now officially confirmed, albeit we will have to wait a bit longer before learning more about the game and seeing the first photos of it. We will keep you informed of any developments.

They could at least do the whole original trilogy and release it as a collection like Halo MCC.

Ubi recognize there is a strong following for SC, but its not big enough for them to invest in a full blown new game. That would require too much capital and the ROI would never match its other big franchises (Assassins Creed, Far Cry). So they have to cheap out with remakes for SC.

"Hey, that would never happen to a beloved classic title!"
*Remembers Warcraft 3 Reforged...*
"Uh oh."
remade by a 3rd party probably underpaid "throwable under the bus" studio...

Watch it not be a true Splinter Cell video game despite using the term Remake.

On the one hand, I get people being disappointed they aren't getting a new sequel/reimaging of a classic title they loved. But that concept only works if the developer delivers a game that is as good or better (relative to the time) as the original. When we talk about our favorite classic games, they were usually highly rated at the time. So suggesting people either need to make amazing game, or don't bother...that's a tough decision to make at the beginning of a project.
Playing through the Demon's Souls remake for PS5 was a pretty amazing experience for me. It was great to see modern, good looking visuals on an experience I spent hundreds of hours with in the past. Getting back into it with the remake had me smiling and enjoying the game for plenty of hours. If other Developers can follow their example and remake classics with that level of polish and beauty, I'm all for it.
