久未有音讯的育碧《细胞分裂》重制版项目似乎有了新动向。昨日，负责该项目的工作室悄然更换了其Facebook主页的头像与背景图，此举可能预示着关于该重制版的最新消息即将揭晓。
早在2021年12月，育碧正式对外宣布，将采用Snowdrop引擎为《细胞分裂》打造高清重制版。重制版将延续原作的线性剧情结构。2022年的一则招聘信息透露，游戏将针对“当代玩家”对故事进行重写与更新。
“我们以初代《细胞分裂》为蓝本，为其面向现代玩家重述并焕新故事。”这是来自2022年岗位描述中的表述，“我们力求在保留原作精神内核与主题特色的同时，深入挖掘角色与世界观，使之更加真实、引人信服。成为育碧多伦多的剧本作家，你将携手叙事团队，共同为新一代《细胞分裂》粉丝编织连贯而扣人心弦的故事体验。”
回顾2021年项目公布时，制作人Matt West曾这样解读重制版的定位：
“在我看来，重制是在重置基础上的升华。初代《细胞分裂》在19年前以其众多开创性特色震撼业界。如今玩家的审美眼光更为敏锐。因此，它注定是一部重制作品，而非简单的重置。尽管我们尚处于项目初期，我们的目标是确保初代游戏的灵魂贯穿始终，体现在那些塑造早期《细胞分裂》独特魅力的方方面面。我们在全面重构过程中，不仅会提升视觉效果，也会调整部分设计元素以贴合当下玩家的体验需求，同时，我们坚持保持游戏的线性叙事风格，不将其改造成开放世界。我们如何确保新玩家一上手就能迅速融入游戏，从初次接触便沉醉于游戏世界之中呢？”

Splinter Cell Remake news could be inbound as Ubisoft Toronto has updated its official Facebook page. It's been quite long since we received any updates on Ubisoft's upcoming remake of Splinter Cell. Yesterday, however, the studio behind the remake changed its profile picture and header on Facebook, which might suggest that some news about the title will be shared soon. The change was spotted by eagle-eyed X user 'MauroNL' just now. Maaaybe some news on Splinter Cell Remake. Ubisoft Toronto changed their Facebook header and profile picture just yesterday. https://t.co/6KUXYmGjjs pic.twitter.com/bSwYCjbtkF — MauroNL (@MauroNL3) April 3, 2024 Of course, this change doesn't necessarily mean that we'll actually receive updates on the game, but here's hoping for more details about the highly-anticipated remake. Ubisoft officially announced its Snowdrop Engine-powered Splinter Cell Remake back in December of 2021. As revealed, the game will remain linear like the original game. We've included the announcement trailer below. According to a job listing from 2022, the game will feature a rewritten and updated story for a "modern-day audience". "Using the first Splinter Cell game as our foundation we are rewriting and updating the story for a modern-day audience", the job description from 2022 read. "We want to keep the spirit and themes of the original game while exploring our characters and the world to make them more authentic and believable. As a Scriptwriter at Ubisoft Toronto, you will join the Narrative team and help create a cohesive and compelling narrative experience for a new audience of Splinter Cell fans." We'll update you as soon as more information about the upcoming Splinter Cell Remake comes in. Here's what producer Matt West had to say about the remake upon its announcement in 2021: "To me, a remake takes what you’d do in a remaster and goes a little bit further with it. The original Splinter Cell has a lot that was amazing and revolutionary at the time it came out, 19 years ago. The gaming public now has an even more refined palate. So, I think it kind of has to be a remake as opposed to a remaster. Although we're still in the very earliest stages of development, what we're trying to do is make sure the spirit of the early games remains intact, in all of the ways that gave early Splinter Cell its identity. So, as we're building it from the ground up, we're going to update it visually, as well as some of the design elements to match player comfort and expectations, and we are going to keep it linear like the original games, not make it open world. How do we make sure that new fans are able to pick up the controller and dive right in, and fall in love with the game and the world right from the get-go?"
