In meantime, this list has been updated with some of Sam Fisher's most recent adventures to see how they stack up to the rest of the series.3.1. However, if the recent success of Hitman 3 is anything to go by it shows fans are once again willing to dive into hardcore stealth games. It's likely a way for Ubisoft to test the waters to see if there's a renewed interest in the series.

It is possible that Ubisoft is waiting to tie-in a new entry with the planned movie adaption but there has been no confirmation from the studio. Unfortunately, the last entry Splinter Cell: Blacklist underperformed in terms of sales on the Xbox 360, and the series was shelved without any sign of a new entry since 2013.
The series was a huge success with six mainline titles and a PSP spin-off. This changed, however, with Ubisoft’s acquisition of the Tom Clancy name and what was originally a sci-fi stealth game called Drift became Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell - a more grounded stealth game set in the real world. Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell was first pitched as a science fiction James Bond-style spy game with inspiration taken from the Metal Gear Solid franchise.
