Ubisoft may have announced the return of Splinter Cell, but that’s actually all the information we’ve been given about the remake so far. However, thanks to job posting for a scriptwriter, we know that the game’s story may not be what we remember, as Ubisoft is apparently looking for someone to help them rewrite and update the story for “modern audiences.” We can also assume that since Ubisoft is searching for a scriptwriter, it’ll probably be a while before we see it on store shelves.

Marvel Games vice president Bill Rosemann has explained that it doesn’t want developers to be constrained by the idea of a mulitverse and wants to give them the freedom to create their own stories.
Ninja Theory And Ascent Devs Are Using AI Voice Tech Instead Of Humans
As technology gets more advanced, more and more workers are losing their jobs to machines. One group of workers that probably felt safe were voice actors, but that may no longer be the case as it’s been revealed that several developers are actually using AI tech to voice their characters. There are a handful of devs out there using this new tech, but the only studios confirmed so far are Ninja Theory and The Ascent developer Neon Giant.
