New Splinter Cell Trademark Filed By Ubisoft

A new report reveals that Ubisoft filed a brand-new trademark for its Splinter Cell franchise, further strengthening rumors of another title possibly undergoing development. Rumors revolving around Splinter Cell’s next installment began in October, with a possible – but unlikely – announcement on its way next year. Little is known about which studio is taking on the role or what type of gaming experience players can expect, but new information regarding the title regularly surfaces. Recently, an industry insider claimed that the series would take a new Assassins-Creed-like approach that would fuse the Splinter Cell franchise’s stealth formula with open-world elements.

Splinter Cell is considered by some to be one of the greatest AAA stealth-first action series available, taking a high ground approach with gameplay and mixing it with a top-notch international-espionage-thriller narrative. While the series saw numerous titles within the past two decades, Ubisoft ultimately put Splinter Cell on an indefinite hiatus following Blacklist in 2013. However, almost a decade after its latest release, Ubisoft continues to use series Splinter Cell protagonist Sam Fisher as a filler in several of its other titles, despite fans asking for a new installment each year. Thus far, Sam Fisher appeared in both Ghost Recon: Wildlands and Breakpoint – as well as a cameo in Rainbow Six: Siege and Ubisoft’s tactical mobile game Elite Squad – the latter of which recently shut down.

According to Justia Trademarks, (via TheGamePost) Ubisoft filed a new trademark for Splinter Cell earlier this month. The file, which was documented on December 6 under classification 41, appears to be for “Entertainment services” – which covers mass media, including live-action performances, television programs, movies, audio broadcasts and video games. Similarly, Ubisoft filed a trademark for Splinter Cell in 2020, though it turned out to be a for a franchise clothing line. It is possible, however, this new trademark could be related to a future video game installment or television show.

As a Tom Clancy title, Splinter Cell lends itself well to other forms of media. Over the summer, the studio announced a Splinter Cell animated series in collaboration with popular streaming service Netflix. The series is set to show a different side of Sam Fisher and could possibly be used to introduce him to modern audiences before its next installment. That said, some are concerned about a future Splinter Cell title due to the mishandling of Tom Clancy brand game series. However, a near-decade-long break from the Splinter Cell series is more than enough time for Ubisoft to learn from its previous mistakes.

Fans incessantly request a new Splinter Cell title from Ubisoft each year and 2022 just might be the perfect juncture for the return of the critically acclaimed series. Despite announcing new media for the series, the decision to bring a new main Splinter Cell installment is fully up to Ubisoft, and fans could either be disappointed or elated come next year.
