Splinter Cellfans begin to ask if Ubisoft could soon announce a new game in the series after a Netflix show is announced. Today, it was revealed thatNetflix is working with Ubisoft on an animatedSplinter Cellseriesand that two series (16 episodes) of the show have been approved.

While Netflix’s newSplinter Cellseries doesn’t have a release date, a cast, and only one member of the team (John WickWriter Derek Kolstad) has been confirmed, fans are now asking what sort of implications the announcement could have. Popular gaming YouTuber MrMattyPlays was quick to respond to the news, calling it “awesome and hilarious” and joking that “Ubisoft has done literally everything BUT make a new Splinter Cell game.” This sentiment was echoed by another popular YouTuber, LegacyKillaHD, who said that “Ubisoft continues to do everything BUT make a new Splinter Cell game”.

Gaming news Twitter account Nibellion also weighed in, saying that while this is only an animatedSplinter Cellshow, “there is a reason” why Ubisoft is making it. Nibellion “wouldn’t be surprised if something is in development or being examined at least.” The Twitter user said that the same goes forDragon’s Dogma, another series with a newly announced Netflix show.

Ubisoft has not officially announced a newSplinter Cellgame. However, earlier this month,Sam Fisher’s Italian voice actor told fans to expect a newSplinter Cellgame. The voice actor, Luca Ward, called it “a fact” thatSplinter Cellwill return and said that the “conclusive episode” in the popular game series could arrive as soon as 2021. That does seem like a long shot, but it’s something that fans were quick to latch onto.

It’s also not unheard of for publishers to respond to calls for a game on social media and for high-profile media personalities, like the YouTubers who tweeted aboutSplinter Celltoday, to help make that happen. This is what happened with thenewSkategame announced by EAin June. While the company hasn’t explicitly said that tweets aboutSkate 4from people like Tyler, the Creator, are the reason the game is being made, developers on the newSkatetitle have admitted that those tweets didn’t hurt the cause.

If Ubisoft is working on something elseSplinter Cell, as Nibellion has speculated, then it could be announced towards the end of the year. Ubisoft has confirmed that it will be holding anotherUbisoft Forwardevent in 2020 and while there aren’t many details about the event, it is possible that a newSplinter Cellgame will be revealed as part of it.
