Splinter Cell Exists in Assassin's Creed

From GameWatcher: "Assassin's Creed Odyssey is really full of surprises, it seems, as the latest in a long line of wonderfully amusing easter eggs is a hint that Splinter Cell and Assassin's Creed are set in the very same universe. More importantly, it's a hint that a new Splinter Cell game may be announced soon enough!"

thats cool. Its the same with wild lands, it exist in the same universe as Rainbow six siege and Splinter cell.

spicelicka2069d ago

Wouldn't that be the Tom Clancy universe? Not sure how Assassin's creed fits in there, but it's cool anyhow!

JokerBoy4222069d ago

I wouldnt mind a little spec of sci-fi thrown into the next Splinter Cell game.

Sciurus_vulgaris2070d ago

I guess Ubisoft is discreetly implying that the Tom Clancy games, Watch Dogs and Assassin’s Creed are all in the same universe.

rainslacker2068d ago (Edited 2068d ago )

Wonder how Tom Clancy feels about that. That means he'd be due royalties for all past games in the AC and WD franchises, as well as royalties from all that merchandising, or the massive number of other media outlets that AC has made money on.

Anyhow, its probably nothing quite so elaborate. Probably just a nod to the SC games.

Sciurus_vulgaris2068d ago

Tom Clancy passed away years ago...

rainslacker2068d ago

Ah. Wasn't aware of that. But still, someone owns those IP rights, so someone would be due some money if this was the actual case.

Hardiman2069d ago

I love little things like this but I'd love a new full blown Splinter Cell game! Hell maybe even reboot it and start fresh with Sam and Lambert doing their thing in Third Echelon and for gods sake have Ironsides do Fisher's voice!

bloop2069d ago

How cool would it be to take the best elements of both franchises and make a new SC game from it? Having all Sam's weapons and gadgets with the agility of an assassin, a modern day ninja game.

Jinger2069d ago

Stop teasing me and just give me a new Splinter Cell with Ironside back!!

JBlaze2262069d ago

They need to bring back spy vs merc

Technically, we wanted more money.

bradfh190d ago

Call of Duty already does this; Ubisoft and other game companies will follow suit and explore similar approaches.

Kaii190d ago

Congratulations, A technical error In displaying ads while playing.
EU consumer law needs to chew these assholes a new one.

TheColbertinator190d ago

At this point the entire EU commission must be bribed

Christopher190d ago

The big note here is the built in ad-displays during gameplay and not that they happened. Start screen, cool. Gameplay? That shouldn't ever happen.

Yi-Long189d ago (Edited 189d ago )

"Start screen, cool."

Uhm, no. Start screen very much NOT cool either. There really need to be new laws implemented banning these companies from shoving ads down out throats at every opportunity they see fit.

Crows90189d ago

For free to play which is a market of games needing monetization through different venues. In those games this stuff is fine by me. But when you pay ..20, 40 ,60, or $70 that's when it is not okay to any degree.

jznrpg189d ago

Start screen not cool either

walken7190d ago

They're testing the waters, vote with your wallets.

porkChop190d ago

That's not a technical error. An ad can't be displayed mid-game without you creating the code/tech to make that possible first.
