GameSpot is reporting on some more juicy Splinter Cell news. Apparently the rumors saying that Splinter Cell Essentials would be a fresh prequel as opposed to a "tweaked port" were kind of on track. Ubisoft has confirmed that there will be a "prequel aspect" included in the title, although it won't be central to the game.
No one is quite sure what that aspect calls for, but the article is quick to note that it brings back the chance of Essentials being just a spruced up PS2 installment. Keep your fingers crossed for something original.
