About a couple of months ago,Splinter Cellfans got their hopes up that they would seea potential announcement for a new gamein the long-dormant franchise at E3 2018 thanks to an Amazon listing that sparked rumors about its existence. Now, even more evidence seems to be pointing toward a sequel in the stealth-action series being revealed, as Walmart Canada has listed a fresh installment in Tom Clancy-branded property on its website alongside several other unannounced titles.
As seen in the tweet below from the prolific Twitter user Wario64, Walmart Canada’s listing has not only stoked the hearts ofSplinter Cellfans for a fresh entry, but also it has possibly spilled the beans a tad too early on projects yet to be officially announced such asGears of War 5,Just Cause 4, andDragon Quest 2for PS4 and Xbox One. Additionally, the page has placeholders for titles such asLEGO DC Villains,Forza Horizons 5, a newAssassin’s Creed, and perhaps most surprisingly,Rage 2.
The Walmart Canada listing also has pre-order listings for products that have already been confirmed by their developers, such asBeyond Good & Evil 2,Borderlands 3,The Division 2, theFinal Fantasy 7 Remake, andDestiny 2’s fall DLC. Interestingly enough, when it comes to the lattermost project, the expansion’s name is stated as “Comet”, which will likely get fans of the science fiction shooter to begin speculating as to what that could mean for the story.
Taking all of this into consideration, there’s no telling whether or not these listings on Walmart Canada’s website are accurate, but it’s not too outlandish a notion to think that the company would have some type of knowledge regarding the release of unannounced games. After all, Walmart is one of the planet’s largest retailers, and it maintains myriad merchandising relationships with a wide variety of game developers, so it surely gets insider information every now and again. Nevertheless, gaming fans can only keep their fingers crossed that the titles shown – most notably a newSplinter Cell– will get announcements at E3 2018.
Ubisoft has yet to announce the existence of a newSplinter Cellgame.
