Good news for *Sam Fisher* fans! Ubisoft has reignited interest in the *Splinter Cell* series by introducing Steam Achievements for the 2013 title, *Splinter Cell: Blacklist*. While updates on the highly anticipated *Splinter Cell Remake* have been sparse since IGN’s 2022 interview with Ubisoft Toronto developers, the company recently slipped in an exciting addition to the Steam version of *Blacklist*.
Ubisoft shared the news: “Agents, we are pleased to announce that Steam Achievements are now available for *Splinter Cell: Blacklist*!” The achievements will be “retroactively earned” for tasks already completed, provided players launch the game at least once. Syncing with Steam will automatically unlock previously earned Ubisoft Connect achievements.
Notably, the team decided against adding 19 online achievements available on consoles, ensuring gamers can still achieve 100% completion on Steam. Meanwhile, the stealth-action genre is set to make a comeback with the *Splinter Cell Remake*, though details remain scarce. Built from scratch using the Snowdrop engine, the remake promises to enhance elements that may not have aged well while preserving the essence of the original experience.
In related news, Ubisoft recently formed subsidiaries for its *Assassin’s Creed*, *Far Cry*, and *Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six* franchises, receiving a significant investment from Tencent. This move follows the release of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, which surpassed 3 million players. Despite recent challenges such as layoffs, studio closures, and canceled projects, Ubisoft faces immense pressure to capitalize on its renewed momentum.
Let me know if further adjustments are needed!
