It’s been more than a decade since the lastSplinter Cellgame launched, even though a lot of fans have been asking for a sequel for a long time.
The only treatment fans have received since the release ofSplinter Cell: Blacklistback in 2013, has been the addition ofSam Fisher’s character toGhost Recon WildlandsandRainbow Six Siege.

The art of infiltration is responsible for some of the best levels in the history of video games.
Recently, Ubisoft has been adding Steam achievements to some of its previous titles. Other cases wereAssassin’s Creed 3andWatch Dogs 2, which received achievements years after their release on the Steam platform.
This is a good thing happening to old fan-favorite Ubisoft titles, as players have a new reason to go back and hunt for some achievements.
It’s also worth noting that those who have earned the achievements of the said titles on Ubisoft Connect don’t have to go and earn them again on Steam.
You just need to launch the game on Steam and connect to your Ubisoft account and all the earned achievements will pop up on your Steam account as well.
Online-Specific Achievements Are Removed
Some of the achievements in Splinter Cell: Blacklist were tied to online services, which are gone by now as the game servers were shut down back in 2022. Therefore, Ubisoft has removed 19 achievements from the game’s Steam achievements, so that you would be able to fully unlock all the achievements even in 2025.
We hope this means that someone somewhere within Ubisoft still remembers the Splinter Cell franchise, and we might see a sequel sometime in the future. Well, that’ssomewishful thinking that we have!
