Splinter Cell: Blacklist receives an update 14 years after its release

After almost 12 years since its release, Splinter Cell: Blacklist has received a significant update: it now supports achievements on Steam. Ubisoft has implemented this new functionality that allows players to earn achievements retroactively, making it easier for completionists to reach 100%. However, 19 achievements that depended on online services that are no longer available have also been removed, clearing the path for those looking to complete the game.

Splinter Cell is not dead, just on a break

Splinter Cell: Blacklist, originally released in August 2013, is the latest main title in the stealth series that has made a mark in the video game industry. In December 2021, Ubisoft announced a remake of the original installment, which has sparked interest among fans. This project is being developed by Ubisoft Toronto, which previously worked on Blacklist and Far Cry 6. With the celebration of the 20th anniversary of Splinter Cell in 2022, the company revealed some details about the remake, including concept art and new AI behaviors for enemies, although since then, communication has been scarce.

In the realm of the Splinter Cell universe expansion, several projects were announced that did not come to fruition. A virtual reality title was canceled in 2022, but an audio series with eight episodes was released that same year. On the other hand, a movie based on the franchise that could have featured Tom Hardy as Sam Fisher was also canceled. However, fans can look forward to a series titled Splinter Cell: Deathwatch on Netflix, where Liev Schreiber will voice the iconic character instead of Michael Ironside.
