Ubisoft Toronto has posted several job openings directly related to the Splinter Cell remake. This indirectly confirms earlier reports that the project had not been canceled.
Ubisoft is looking for a producer whose responsibilities include participating in the recruitment of new employees, team building, and the development of its members. The candidate is also required to ensure the timely release of their part of the project.
Another vacancy is for a Team Lead Level Designer. The description for this position also mentions the need to participate in the hiring and onboarding of new employees to maintain team effectiveness and cohesion.
However, the vacancies themselves do not allow us to conclude how far development has progressed. The presence of a producer position also does not necessarily mean that the project is in its early stages: in this case, it refers to a specific part of the production process and working with an existing team.
