A recent job posting from Ubisoft suggests the upcoming Splinter Cell remake is currently without a game director. The remake, first announced in 2021, appears to be facing development challenges, and it seems another director has left the project.
As a big fan, I’m a little worried to see another director leave the Splinter Cell remake! It’s not the first time this has happened, actually. Back in 2022, not even a year after they announced the game, the original game director, David Grivel, moved on from Ubisoft. He’d been with Ubisoft for over ten years and worked on some amazing titles – I loved him on Splinter Cell Blacklist, and he also helped with a lot of the Far Cry games and Assassin’s Creed Unity. It’s cool he’s now a senior design director at EA, and he even worked on Battlefield 6, but it still makes me wonder about the remake’s progress.
Job Listing Suggests Splinter Cell Remake Currently Has No Game Director
After the previous game director left, Andy Schmoll, who worked on Far Cry 6, took over as the new director for the Splinter Cell remake. However, Schmoll appears to have left Ubisoft in September 2025, according to her LinkedIn profile. Tech4Gamers recently noticed that Ubisoft was looking to hire a new director for the project, and a screenshot captured by the site confirms the position is specifically for Splinter Cell, focusing on the core gameplay experience.
There’s been some internal disruption at Ubisoft Toronto, with two lead directors departing in the last three years, and it’s impacting the development of the Splinter Cell remake. It appears the team is completely reworking the story to appeal to today’s players, which may explain the lack of news about the game since it was first announced four years ago. This silence has worried fans, and some are now questioning whether the remake is still in development.
While Ubisoft hasn’t officially announced anything, a recent job posting indicates that the remake of Splinter Cell is still in development. Despite reports that the project had been cancelled, industry sources shared updates last year, confirming it was still actively being worked on. The remake, internally known as “North,” is reportedly being built using the Snowdrop engine.
Earlier this year, Ubisoft announced it was delaying several major games, and this likely impacted the remake of Splinter Cell. While Ubisoft didn’t specify which games were affected, it’s reasonable to assume the release date for Splinter Cell – a popular franchise like Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry – was quietly changed as a result.
