Splinter Cell: Remake is no longer in the hands of David Grivel

David Grevel says:

After over eleven years at Ubisoft, it’s time to embark on a new adventure. Eleven years is a long time and almost impossible to summarize in one post, but I must say that I was lucky. I have been fortunate to work with many wonderful people over the years. I’ve gained a lot of friends. From Ubisoft Paris to Ubisoft Toronto, I’ve had the opportunity to work on many of the franchises that I love as a gamer. So I want to sincerely thank everyone I’ve worked with at Ubisoft and say goodbye to them. This is not goodbye as our industry is small and I hope our paths cross again in the future.
