Overview
- Grivel announced on December 1 that he has rejoined Ubisoft Toronto as game director for the Splinter Cell remake, confirming the news in a LinkedIn post.
- He previously led the remake from November 2021 to October 2022 before departing to work on Battlefield 6 at EA’s Ridgeline Games, which shut down in early 2024.
- After Ridgeline’s closure, he briefly returned to Ubisoft in mid-2024 on an unannounced project, then left for Worlds Untold later that year as that studio faced major cuts.
- Ubisoft has not shared a release window, gameplay reveal, or substantive progress update, making this the first notable development on the remake in years.
- The franchise’s profile has grown recently with a BBC Radio audio series, Netflix’s animated Splinter Cell: Deathwatch debut and renewal, and classic titles such as Pandora Tomorrow arriving on Steam, as several outlets reported after GamesRadar first spotted Grivel’s post.
