New Splinter Cell Game Revealed News

Jade Raymond, the General Manager at Ubisoft's new Toronto studio, has spoken candidly about a new Splinter Cell project that's being undertaken at the studio as well as a second, unannounced triple-A project that's also underway at Ubisoft Toronto.

Speaking in an interview with Gamasutra, Raymond revealed how the core Splinter Cell team from Ubisoft Montreal has relocated to Toronto where it's now working on a new Splinter Cell title.

"All of the core team has relocated with me from Montreal," said Raymond. "Where you develop a game does have an impact on who it appeals to... When you think of it like that, I think the Splinter Cell franchise fits Toronto," she added.

Key developers from Ubi Montreal's Splinter Cell: Conviction project, such as Alex Parizeau and Max Beland, have now taken up Head of Production and Creative Director positions at the Toronto studio respectively.

Raymond was quick to stress that the studio will be focusing on big, triple-A releases rather than smaller casual titles, which is reflected in a second unannounced triple-A project that's also underway at the outfit.

"Instead of starting a studio and working on small projects, Nintendo DS or portables, we're starting out of the gate with triple-A only," she said. "The reason that I think that's the right strategy is that it allows us to attract the best talent right off the bat."
