Ubisoft recently officially announced Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 4 is in development. While very few details of the game are available, it will apparently "innovate and revolutionize the Splinter Cell franchise." Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 4 will ship in Spring 2006 for "current and next generation consoles as well as for PC."

"Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory received record-setting reviews and countless awards," said Yves Guillemot, president and CEO of Ubisoft. "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 4 will be even more thrilling and heart-pounding than its ground-breaking predecessors. This new version will both enrich the gaming experience on current consoles and take full advantage of the capacities of next-generation consoles to deliver players the most fabulous gaming experience ever."
