Splinter Cell 6 in development

Ubisoft Toronto managing director Jade Raymond has announced in a promotional video that Splinter Cell 6 is currently in development at her studio.

"We're working on Splinter Cell 6, the next iteration of the blockbuster franchise, and we're doing it entirely here in Toronto," said Raymond in the clip, which you can watch in full below. Few details are revealed about the game, which has been referred to as Splinter Cell 6 for the first time in this very video.

The game is being developed by the core team behind Splinter Cell: Conviction, which saw considerable success in re-inventing the Splinter Cell gameplay mechanics as something faster paced and more accessible.

Raymond's studio currently houses 83 employees, which she hopes to increase to around 800 within the next 10 years.
