The timing for the announcement of a new Splinter Cell appear to be mature, after three years of design and development inside of Ubisoft Toronto under the direction of Jade Raymond, former lead designer of Assassin's Creed . It's the same Raymond to confirm during GDC: " we're going to announce our first triple-A title under development at our studio. I have to say that everything is going better than I could imagine. I am amazed of the team that we've made and what we have been able to realize: I think Ubisoft is also quite excited. Soon we will find out what others think . "

Since the month of May 2010 we knew that Jade was at work on the new Splinter Cell , but since some time has passed, the same holds us to point out that it is precisely of that project: " we're not working on a great new intellectual property. Is one of our goals and we are definitely working towards that direction, but we're not thinking about the new IP: we are 100% focused on the Splinter Cell ".

Now there remains only to discover if it is a sequel to previous titles or the beginning of a completely new storyline. Regarding the announcement, it is likely that we will have to wait until E3 this year, unless Ubisoft decides to anticipate the times.
