Da Splinter Cell: Blacklist ble lansert, kunne Jade Raymond også annonsere at de hadde enda et Splinter Cell på gang. Nå forteller ryktebørsen at selveste Michael Ironside er tilbake i rollen som Sam Fisher. Dette skriver brukeren Crossing Eden på Neogaf-forumet:
"Regarding other games, I haven't been involved with Steep or Wildlands, but I was surprised Splinter Cell didn't appear at E3. I know Ironside is back. He was in the studio, I said Hi to him and his daughter. He was shooting a movie with Amy Jo Johnson, and I know someone who worked on that set and Ironside confirmed to him he was doing the new Splinter Cell. I know Toronto has the mocap studio for it.I'm hoping to hear or see something unofficial, if not official, this year, but its been hard to get anything beyond 'It's Happening'."
Brukeren har hatt rett i andre rykter om Ubisoft-spill, så det er ikke helt urimelig å tro det vedkommende skriver. Kanskje får vi vite noe sikkert på denne ukens Gamescom-messe.
