A Ubisoft developer revealed the next Splinter Cell game had no mandatory kill targets.

[{"selector":"#anim-ca0cae10-2123-4e35-99e2-e765c126badc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(52.02824527945293%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The long-awaited game draws on franchise history, but the creators make key changes.

[{"selector":"#anim-6c17b4a9-9ea1-4bcf-9563-7550b265e662 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(29.968402449107845%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Since Blacklist, fans have wanted a stealth-focused sequel.

[{"selector":"#anim-94169dc8-3804-40c9-a821-6f34e12c8542 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(32.42187489333662%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Before Conviction, SC featured punishing combat methods that demanded stealth.

So far, Ubisoft’s Splinter Cell remake selections seem good.

[{"selector":"#anim-bc7e12c5-db53-488e-a80e-ba3c87e5eef5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-64.60336565428754%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Killing enemies will be optional, says Senior Game Designer Andy Schmoll.

Schmoll said the business aims to improve stealth.
