Talking about Ubisoft and open world games or sagas that go to the open world is not a novelty either, the French company seems to have found the formula for the success of open world games and the tracing in almost all its franchises, from Assassin’s Creed a Far Cry, Ghost Recon or Watch Dogs, we will see what approach the new installment of Splinter Cell follows. For its comparison with Halo Infinite it could refer to concrete missions within large open world scenarios and not a whole big open world.
For the moment There is no confirmation if there is a new installment of Splinter Cell in development, so we will have to wait for news officially. It would be an announcement very the gala of The Game Awards 2021, but it seems unlikely.
