It has been practically 4 years since <a href=” data-entity-type=”node” data-entity-uuid=”2d7f08d7-a850-4def-a34c-dea649945f96″ data-entity-substitution=”canonical”>Ubisoft introduced its Splinter Cell remake</a>, however the developer does not have a lot to point out off fairly but, <a href=” data-entity-type=”node” data-entity-uuid=”d24df20a-5973-4edd-9a2e-bb04b04c2d46″ data-entity-substitution=”canonical”>exterior of some items of idea artwork</a>. Final week, nevertheless, we did get a minor manufacturing replace on the mission from somebody with firsthand information of the sport. David Grivel is returning as Splinter Cell remake’s sport director, a job he held years in the past earlier than leaving to work at EA.
“Right this moment, I’m very, VERY comfortable to announce that I’m rejoining Ubisoft Toronto as Recreation Director on the Splinter Cell Remake!” Grivel’s LinkedIn put up saying the information reads. “A really particular staff and mission to me,” the message concludes, full with a coronary heart emoji. (Because of GamesRadar, which observed this put up earlier than we did.)
Based on his LinkedIn profile, Grivel labored at Ubisoft from 2011 to 2022, spending most of his time on the Toronto workplaces as a senior or lead sport designer, with credit on initiatives like Murderer’s Creed Unity, Far Cry 5, 6, and Primal, and most significantly, Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Beginning in 2021, he transitioned to being the sport director on the Splinter Cell remake, a place he held till late 2022, when he left to work on Battlefield 6. He briefly returned to Ubisoft in 2024, however left to affix a studio, Worlds Untold, that sadly shut down proper as he was alleged to be beginning.
Now, Grivel has returned to the staff he left three years in the past, although it’s unclear what, if something , this implies for the remake, particularly because the final replace got here a month or so after he left, earlier than any actual influence would have been clear. On the very least, it’s an indication of life that confirms Ubisoft nonetheless intends to observe by with the mission. Right here’s hoping we’ll see a extra concrete replace someday quickly.
