The Splinter Cell series, while critically acclaimed, has never achieved the popularity of competitors like Metal Gear Solid. As gaming trends shifted towards action-packed experiences, Ubisoft sought to reinvent the franchise with Splinter Cell: Conviction. Following the events of Double Agent, the game's design focused on a new roguish approach for protagonist Sam Fisher, incorporating social stealth and direct confrontations. However, despite interesting innovations in gameplay, the changes did not resonate well with fans who preferred the traditional stealth mechanics that defined earlier entries in the franchise.
The original trilogy was a critical darling, yet it struggled against more popular stealth titles, highlighting the challenge of reinventing Sam Fisher's exploits for a new era.
Pre-release footage indicated a significant shift towards social stealth and aggressiveness in gameplay, suggesting a potential new direction for the franchise with a Jason Bourne influence.
