Insider Gaming has learned that the game is being developed under the codename North. In addition to the codename, sources have confirmed that the game is being built in the Snowdrop Engine. Previous Splinter Cell games used Unreal Engine 2 and 2.5.

All seems to be pretty normal? Announced in 2021, release in 2026. 5 year dev cycle for a current gen AAA is pretty standard. I dunno, I'm pretty happy with this update. Only reason we knew about it so early was because they used the announcement to staff up.
 
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to know the remake is still alive, but how is this all the info we have three years after it was announced. This is ridiculous on Ubisoft's part.

I don't need a trailer or anything, but do a dev update or something to show progress.
 
Correct me if I am wrong here, but none of this is new information. We already knew that Snowdrop would be used. We knew the game would be linear and that it was in "early development stages". The only thing here I didn't know about was Codename North but it doesn't seem to mean much where we are all calling it the SC Remake now lol.
