Not long ago, Ubisoft was developing a new Splinter Cell game.But according to the latest reports, the project eventually transformed and became "Unruly Alliance."

The news comes from a Bloomberg report about AdHoc Studios.The studio is the developer of the workplace superhero comedy game "Super Hero Dispatch". The report tells the story of their development from Telltale Games to Ubisoft to establishing an independent studio.AdHoc's core leadership originally worked together at Telltale Games on Legends of the Borderlands before Nick Herma, Denis Renard, and Pierre Shoret left to join Ubisoft in 2017.While at Ubisoft, the three were responsible for the development of a new game in the "Splinter Cell" series.

"I'm very excited to be a part of this and help revitalize this long-dormant franchise," Herma said in an interview with Bloomberg. "We think we can tell a great story and make something that players will love."

However, they explained that at the time, Ubisoft was fully promoting the transformation of its games into a service model, and the "Splinter Cell" series did not quite fit this model.Over time, the Splinter Cell project evolved into what would become Unleashed, a free-to-play first-person shooter.The game received mediocre reviews when it was released last year, and was officially discontinued in June this year, resulting in the closure of two complete studios.

In 2018, the trio eventually reunited with another former Telltale colleague, Michael Chung, to form AdHoc Studio.They also co-wrote the script for "With Wolves 2" during development of the game version that eventually became Dispatch, but exited the project after completing 800 pages of the script due to dissatisfaction with the lack of creative control.As far as we know, the development of the "Walking with Wolves 2" project seems to be equally unsatisfactory.

But in the end, with the support of the publisher and the recruitment of many well-known actors by casting director Linda Lamontagne, the team successfully completed the final version of "Dispatch Center."An emergency cooperation agreement with Critical Role studio for another game also helped them wrap up smoothly.

As for the "Splinter Cell" series, players are still waiting for the new game - the last new game in the series was "Splinter Cell: Blacklist" launched in 2013.It is said that a remake of the original 2002 "Cell Splinter" is under development, but Ubisoft has been keeping secret about the matter since 2022. It is still difficult to judge whether the project will finally come out.
