Ubisoft Rumored to Have Cancelled Splinter Cell Battle Royale Game
Find out why Ubisoft may have cancelled the highly anticipated Splinter Cell Battle Royale game.
Ubisoft has been one of the most successful game publishers in recent years, and one of their most popular franchises is the stealth-action game series Splinter Cell. Fans of the franchise have been eagerly waiting for a new installment, and rumors of a new game started circulating in early 2021. However, recent rumors suggest that the new game may have been cancelled.
According to sources close to Ubisoft, the new game was going to be a Battle Royale game, similar to other popular games such as Fortnite and Apex Legends. This would have been a new direction for the franchise, which has always focused on single-player campaigns with stealth and action elements.
While the news of a new Splinter Cell game was met with excitement by fans, the decision to make it a Battle Royale game was met with mixed reactions. Some fans were excited at the prospect of a new game mode, while others were disappointed that the franchise would be moving away from its roots.
Ubisoft has not yet made an official statement regarding the cancellation of the game, but rumors suggest that the decision was made due to the lukewarm response to the game's concept during internal testing. It is also possible that the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the gaming industry may have played a role in the decision.
