Splinter Cell: Remastered is one of many Ubisoft remake projects coming over the next few years.Although there have been recent rumors that the project may be canceled, sources say that the game is still in progress and the target release date is expected to be 2026.

However, foreign media Tech4Gamers discovered a new job posting, which shows that the development process of the remake project seems to be in turmoil.Ubisoft Toronto is currently hiring a game director for Splinter Cell: Remastered, suggesting the original director has left.

According to the recruitment information, the game director will be responsible for all key elements of the remake, including real-time game experience, equipment system implementation, and NPC behavior design.

In addition, the director will lead the design of Sam Fisher's stealth gameplay and interaction with the environment.The job posting comes from Ubisoft's Toronto studio, which means the studio remains the primary developer on the project despite the significant personnel changes.

"As the game director on the Splinter Cell project, you will be responsible for the game's real-time gameplay design."

After the media reported the matter, the job posting was removed by Ubisoft.But this isn't the first time Splinter Cell: Remastered has lost its game director.

As early as 2022, David Grivel, who had worked at Ubisoft for ten years, left the company, resulting in the project being "directorless" for the first time.At the time, Splinter Cell: Remastered had just been announced to the public, and now it seems history is repeating itself.

In view of previous reports that the development process of the project is not going smoothly, Ubisoft has re-released the director recruitment advertisement, which will undoubtedly make the outside world more worried.The game hasn't been seen in any big trailers or live demos in a long time, and this hiring only adds to the confusion surrounding the status of the project.

In addition, Ubisoft has recently undergone major structural adjustments, which is related to its cooperation with Tencent.Since this agreement was reached, the director of the Assassin's Creed IP has been forced to leave the company after many years of service.

Regardless, it remains to be seen what the future holds for Splinter Cell Remastered and other remake projects in development.
