A new Splinter Cell title has long been requested by fans during this six-year gap, with hype reaching a noticeable high around this time last year when the title was included in the Walmart Canada pre-E3 2018 leak, with many of the games featured in that leak having become a reality in the past twelve months. Skell Technologies has also crossed the path of Sam Fisher before, as Wildlands’ Operation Watchman DLC brought the gruff infiltrator to Bolivia to delete sensitive information from the eyes of the high-tech company. The Splinter Cell franchise has been without a new title for longer than any of the other entrants on this list, with the latest title Blacklist being released in 2013 mere months before the launch of this current generation of consoles. Additionally, the game’s release in 2017 and a potential sequel releasing in early 2020 would follow a similar path to fellow Tom Clancy title The Division, which saw a debut and sequel release in 20 respectively. While Wildlands wasn’t necessarily a critical hit, the title sold well enough to warrant a sequel, reaching the top ten of the NPD Group’s best-selling titles in 2017. Not only are Skell-produced drones featured and controllable in the aforementioned Operation Oracle DLC, but the company has also appeared in previous Wildlands missions, with technology including optical camouflage in Operation Silent Spade and a heatmap in Operation Kingslayer. While a new IP is not out of the question, this reveal event could also be leading to a potential sequel to one of Ubisoft’s already-established franchises, with substantial evidence to back up each of these three possible follow-ups.Ī sequel to the title that the Easter egg was originally discovered in seems like the most straightforward answer of the bunch. With all of these hints towards an upcoming Ubisoft title, speculation has been running wild on what exactly the French publisher will be revealing later this week. The card also includes a link to a website that features a drone-centric promotion video and several hidden easter eggs to other Ubisoft titles and characters. During these missions, players can discover the invitation below to an event known as Skell Con, hosted by the fictional Skell Technologies, which takes place on May 9 at 11:30 AM PT. Last week, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands received its latest piece of DLC, Operation Oracle, which added several new missions and features an in-game tease for a real-world event.

UPDATE: Shortly after this article was published, Ubisoft confirmed in a tweet that this week’s reveal event would be for Ghost Recon.
