Ubisoft has said its long-awaited Splinter Cell remake remains in development despite layoffs at the studio working on the project.<\/p>\n

40 jobs will be lost at Ubisoft Toronto, the company has now announced, as part of the ongoing push to cut costs that has seen thousands of employees depart over the past few years. In a statement sent to IGN, Ubisoft said that work on Splinter Cell was unaffected by the redundancies. <\/p>\n

The company announced plans to remake the original Splinter Cell using The Division’s snazzy Snowdrop engine back in December 2021, though little has been heard of it since.<\/p>\n

“Following the\u202frecent\u202fannouncement\u202fof the\u202ffinal phase of\u202fUbisoft’s global cost-savings plan and the\u202fdiscontinuation\u202fof\u202fprojects, Ubisoft Toronto will be reducing its workforce by 40 roles,” a Ubisoft spokesperson said. <\/p>\n

“This decision was not taken lightly and does not in any way reflect the talent, dedication, or contributions of the individuals affected.\u202fOur priority now is to support\u202fthem\u202fthrough this transition with comprehensive severance packages and robust career placement\u202fassistance.\u202f <\/p>\n

“The Toronto studio continues development on the Splinter Cell game and serves as a co-development partner on Rainbow Six, along with supporting additional co-development projects.”<\/p>\n
