The Splinter Cell remake Ubisoft announced in 2021 has a new director: His name is David Grivel, and if that rings a bell it might be because he was director on the project when it was first announced, but split—from the game and Ubisoft entirely—just under a year later.
Grivel said when he left Ubisoft in October 2022 that after 11 years at the company, "it is now time for me to go on a new adventure." That adventure, according to his LinkedIn profile, took him immediately to Electronic Arts, where he spent a year and a half working on Battlefield 6 as studio design director at Ridgeline Games.
