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.
