Good news for fans of Sam Fisher: Ubisoft has not forgotten about the beloved Splinter Cell series. In a recent update, they've added Steam Achievements to the 2013 release, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, signaling that the franchise is still on their radar.
The last significant update on the Splinter Cell Remake was back in 2022 when IGN met with Ubisoft Toronto developers to delve into their design philosophy for the upcoming game. However, in a quiet move overnight, Ubisoft updated the achievement list for the 12-year-old Blacklist on Steam.
Ubisoft announced: "Agents, we are pleased to announce that Steam Achievements are now available for Splinter Cell: Blacklist!"
These achievements will be "retroactively earned for the accomplishments already completed in your game," but you'll need to launch the game at least once to sync them. "Once synced, the previously unlocked Ubisoft Connect achievements will be automatically unlocked on Steam," the team explained.Interestingly, Ubisoft opted not to include the additional 19 online achievements available on consoles, ensuring players can still achieve 100% completion on Steam.
The stealth-action series is poised for a comeback with the Splinter Cell Remake, a complete rebuild of the original game using the advanced Snowdrop engine. While details remain scarce, creative director Chris Auty shared in 2022 that the team aims to enhance elements that may not have aged well while preserving the core experience of the original.
In other Ubisoft news, the company recently established a new subsidiary focused on its Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six brands, backed by a €1.16 billion (approximately $1.25 billion) investment from Tencent. This move comes on the heels of the success of Assassin's Creed Shadows, which surpassed 3 million players shortly after its launch. Ubisoft has faced challenges with high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations, putting significant pressure on new releases to perform well as the company's share price hit a historic low.
