If you’re sick of waiting for Ubisoft to make a new Splinter Cell, this newly announced indie stealth game might fill the Sam Fisher-shaped hole in your life

The Splinter Cell franchise has been silent for nearly thirteen years, with a remake of the original game reportedly in development, though it has faced significant changes, including the departure of its original director. Meanwhile, an indie stealth game called Lizard State has been announced, featuring unique gameplay elements such as "mimic cameras" that transform into spider-like devices and another gadget that can incapacitate guards. The game aims to provide a compelling stealth experience, with initial impressions raising some concerns about tactile engagement. A thrilling moment in the trailer showcases the protagonist executing a judo throw combined with a rifle maneuver. Details about the release date are not available, but players can request access to an upcoming playtest on the game's Steam page.

Developer Don't Nod is primarily known for its Life is Strange series, while its debut game, Remember Me, received a lukewarm reception and disappointing sales, leading to financial difficulties for the studio. The game features protagonist Nilin, who possesses judo skills and engages in limited martial arts combat, but much of the gameplay involves traversing the city rather than combat. Neo-Paris is visually striking, showcasing artistic design, but lacks coherent world-building and a logical foundation for its narrative. The story revolves around memory manipulation, with Nilin able to alter the memories of key characters, a mechanic that illustrates how pivotal moments shape identities. Despite its shortcomings, some concepts from Remember Me were later refined and successfully integrated into Life is Strange.
