Ubisoft cancels development of Ghost Recon Frontline and Splinter Cell VR
A lot is going on over at Ubisoft this week. Not only is the company delaying Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora until early next year, but several projects are getting scrapped too.
During a financial call on Thursday, Ubisoft revealed that it is canceling the development of four major titles. Specifically Ghost Recon Frontline, Splinter Cell VR, and two unannounced games. There weren’t any specifics regarding these cancellations other than the company would rather focus on larger projects and attempt to cut production costs.
Truthfully, next to nothing is known about any of these games. Announced last fall, Ghost Recon Frontline was going to be a competitive free-to-play battle royale first-person shooter where more than 100 players could fight it out. Essentially another take on Call of Duty: Warzone from the looks of it. Keep in mind that Frontline wasn’t the Ghost Recon title Ubisoft Paris is reportedly working on, either.
We know even less about Splinter Cell VR. The announcement came in August of 2020 and was being developed by Red Storm. Ubisoft gave no information whatsoever on the unannounced titles for obvious reasons.
If nothing else, the Splinter Cell remake is still happening. So fans of that franchise still have something to look forward to going forward.
