Ubisoft quietly re-releases Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow on Steam and Ubisoft Connect at a large discount

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell series has been pretty much at the bottom of Ubisoft’s priority queue of late until now. In what can be characterized as a surprising move, Ubisoft has quietly re-released a forgotten gem from the franchise, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, on Steam after years of absence from digital storefronts.

Pandora Tomorrow originally launched in 2004 as the second installment of the Splinter Cell series, and followed the story of operative Sam Fisher as he unearthed a global conspiracy involving a deadly bioterror attack. The game was listed on Steam on October 14, 2025, finally making it accessible to modern PC gamers running the latest versions of Windows.

The re-release addresses long-standing issues that plagued the PC version, particularly graphical errors with shadow rendering on newer GPUs, which made the game unplayable for fans. Early user reviews on Steam indicate that Ubisoft has finally addressed shadow glitches, resulting in a smoother gaming experience. 

However, it is worth noting that Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow is not a remastered edition, as the game retains the original 4:3 aspect ratio and lacks native widescreen support. While it does preserve the authenticity of its Xbox-era origins, players who want to make full use of their screen space can turn to community patches and mods for modern resolutions.

To celebrate this launch, Ubisoft is offering a 40% discount on Steam, bringing the price down to $5.99. The deal is even more lucrative on Ubisoft Connect, where the game is priced at just $2.50 across multiple regions, effectively less than a cup of coffee in most countries.

Furthermore, Pandora Tomorrow is also available on the Epic Games Store, filling a notable gap in the series’ availability on digital platforms, as every other mainline Splinter Cell title has been available for digital purchase for years.

Despite the excitement surrounding the release of Ubisoft’s “absent middle-child,” players are required to link a Ubisoft Account and Ubisoft Connect, which was formerly known as Uplay, to play the game even if purchased through Steam.

This discreet arrival of the game has stirred up discussion online, where fans are relieved to finally complete their digital collections without resorting to unofficial sources or physical copies. While it was playable previously, fans had to obtain physical copies and navigate through third-party mods to get the game up and running.
