I can imagine Shadows being decent and on the limit to good. Now I have not played any AC since Origins, but I can’t imagine it has changed much. Except that they have different seasons in Shadows, which is a nice feature. And it is fine if a game sticks to a concept, for example CoD have not changed much and they still sell plenty of games every year. However, if Ubisoft delivers good games, around 80 on metacritic, with their cash cows and they perform worse with other games then that does not bode well for a new Splinter Cell.

With that being said, of course I hope that a new SC is released and that it is really good.

Are the chips made in China or Taiwan? Taiwan could of course also add extra features, but it is unlikely that they share it with China.

As long as they make as good as previous SC games. I have a feeling that a new SC game would be significantly worse than the older games. When was the last time Ubisoft created something good?
