Was mentioned in their financial call now apparently

Seriously? Splinter Cell VR was one of the only reasons I kept tuning into the Oculus/Meta Gaming Showcases... I guess they're still going forward with Assassin's Creed VR then. Not surprised Frontline was canned after the dreadful reception for it on reveal.

(On a more serious note) I find it hard to care about Ubisoft anymore, man. Despite me not being a fan of every single game they put out, I still played SOME of their games but as of recently, they've just seem to have lost any sense of direction which has essentially ruined any sense of interest when it comes to the stuff they're making.
I think it's more the Splinter Cell VR game people are upset about
it's an opportunity to dunk on ubisoft. who cares about the details.
Well at some point Ubisoft has to consider to improve the quality of their games.
In my opinion for a few years now they are releasing mediocre games.

I don't think it's been mentioned, but it IS a non-VR Splinter Cell lol
Shame the Splinter Cell VR game is off the table, that sounded interesting.
Ghost Recon though lol, the closed beta was apparently pretty mediocre and I feel Ubisoft has like a thousand games in that sector ( including the disappeared XDefiant)

Yea
Splinter Cell Remake Begins Development at Ubisoft Toronto
Lead developers talk tech, team-building, and what makes Splinter Cell worth revisiting.

Yes it is, they announced it's a remake of the first SC.
is Vivendi still interested?
and no one large enough to acquire Ubisoft will bring back those small IPs
I'm guessing that's further along, so would have been bad to cancel...
...but it might mean it gets pushed out the door faster.
It's probably okay. It was officially announced in 2020, so it isn't one of the two other games that were canceled.
They're in such a weird transition period right now. Aside from Mario Rabbids there aren't really any heavy-hitters on the immediate horizon. The next tentpole AC game is still a ways out, and it's going even further into live-service. That isn't inherently bad, but we know so little about it that it's hard not to be apprehensive.
They've spent the last year announcing a slew of ill-advised PvP/F2P efforts that have either flopped at release or gone dark before even launching. Far Cry 6 felt like a stopgap and Beyond Good & Evil 2 is… who knows where at this point.
I'm just not seeing any confidence in their modern-day output. I like Ubisoft games well enough but with the way things are going, I can't help but feel that they're a publisher in decline.

Well that sucks. The Splinter Cell curse continues, seems like we will never get a new one at this point.
lol yea i don't get why people are mad, they cancelled projects no one wanted and are putting the talent on projects they do want.
That tends to be a ubi problem, they have massive resources so they do take on lots of different initiatives which is usually good but they are always so hesitant to cut and run when something isn't working. this is a good step. product of their post-Serge editorial leadership seems like.
now splinter cell remake is staffing up nicely for example

Should finally cancel their leadership and sexual abuse in the company.
Still the right decision, GRF looked aweful.
