Ubisoft has gone through some major strategic changes in the last few years and cancelled a handful of high profile projects, but it sounds like the Splinter Cell Remake is still pressing forward.A new batch of leaks provided some interesting insider information on a handful of Ubisoft projects this week. In addition to some surprising details about Far Cry 7’s mechanics, the same leaker also offered some new insight into what is going on with Splinter Cell Remake.The leaks come from frequently Ubisoft leaker Rogue I Tx who does have a pretty decent track record when it comes to Ubisoft-specific intel. Here is all of the new information that was shared in the latest leak:Non lethal choices expansionLinearDynamic Light shootingSnowdrop EngineDirectX 12Light & dark MeterSticky cameras & Gas grenadesManual AlarmDestructible EnviromentalPipe slide & zip lineSome of this aligns with earlier leaks and tracks with what has been expected. Splinter Cell Remake being developed in the Snowdrop Engine with DirectX 12 makes the most sense at this point.Some of the more interesting parts of the leak relate to specific mechanics.
