Splinter Cell next gen teased by Ubisoft

Speaking with Arabic Gamers, Ubisoft just teased a Splinter Cell next gen release, even though Splinter Cell: Blacklist still has to launch on August 20(USA)-23(Europe), for PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and WiiU platforms.

Scott Lee, Art Director at Ubisoft Toronto, said:

Sam Fisher and Splinter Cell is a big and very important franchise for Ubisoft, and yes they do support the franchise. Obviously we’re working very hard on current-gen systems and we’re super excited that we’re going to be across all platforms.

For next-gen there are a lot of plans in the works, obviously we can’t talk about that at the moment but I definitely look forward to seeing Sam in new adventures, bigger and better as we go along. Sam will be back.

This isn’t exactly surprising, but nonetheless it’s interesting to see such a confirmation even before Blacklist launch.
