Left: SC-Pistol (Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory) Right: FN Five seveN Tactical In comparison to a standard 9mm round there are a number of advantages, the first being weight (coming in at less than half that of a 9mm round) and as a result, less recoil and an overall lighter weapon having a larger capacity than a standard pistol. It's ammunition (5.72 x 20mm) was created by Fabrique Nationale de Herstal (FN) and the SS109 FMJ rounds specified for the SC Pistol are armour piercing. The weapon is based on the real-world Belgian made FN Five-seveN. It is the standard side arm of Sam Fisher and has featured in every Splinter Cell game so far. Each magazine has a capacity of 20 rounds and it comes equipped with a silencer / flash suppressor for use in covert operations. However, we do know it will be powered by the Snowdrop engine, which will also be used to develop Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora as well as Ubisoft’s upcoming Star Wars game.The 5-7 SC Pistol is a tactical, semi-automatic, single action pistol that fires 5.72 x 20mm SS109 rounds.

West continues: “The gameplay experience we are targeting is directly tied to what we want players to feel, to capture the essence back when we were all playing the original games.” With the vision Ubisoft Toronto is going for, I imagine the remake will be in the same vein as Motive Studio’s Dead Space Remake updating the foundation of the core gameplay mechanics while still being familiar to Splinter Cell veterans. “Ideally, they end up coming out on the other side with no one having realized you were even there.” “It’s important for us to preserve the sense of mastery by supporting players who observe the situations, make their plan, use their gadgets, and outsmart the enemy creatively to deal with the challenges they are presented with,” says creative director Chris Auty. In regards to the tagline, West states, “That is very much in keeping with us redefining what stealth action is going to feel like for a modern audience.” This indicates we may see new gameplay elements added to the remake, or an updated stealth experience that adds to the original’s main design.

In November 2022, in honor of the original game's 20th anniversary, we got a look at a series of concept art images for the game along with a reaffirmation that the game was still in "very early" production and that the developers would be "going dark" to concentrate on delivering the game.
