- Korean Studio is releasing a game that seems like it’s heavily inspired by the Tom Clancy Series but still looks very promising.
- It features stealth with a light bar, close-encounter melee finishers, advanced AI, and as well as heavy action.
- Ubisoft is developing Splinter Cell Remake, and this game could beat Ubisoft’s remake if done correctly.
For years, the stealth-action fans have been starved for a game of this genre. Back in the days, stealth games were prevalent but now we see a clear decline in these games, which is always sad to see.
We know of no other stealth game being developed except for one. Reportedly, Ubisoft is working on a Splinter Cell Remake despite facing cancellation rumors. However, that isn’t even official, so fans are more deprived than ever.
Already Looks Promising
So, to cure all of our sadness, Korean developers have taken matters into their own hands. They have come up with their own upcoming stealth-induced title, Project TH. While it is still in development, devs are consistently showing their progress.
At first glance, fans might be sceptical because many games showcase their early developments, which disappoint fans due to poor execution. But EVR Studio, the team behind Project TH, proved all the fans wrong with their dev logs.
Stealth Done Right
Upon first glimpse, we can clearly see that they have taken heavy inspiration from the Tom Clancy games as if it is a combination of games like Splinter Cell, The Divison, and Ghost Recon Series.
From the moment I saw the gameplay, I knew it was different yet similar. The game didn’t just incorporate action, but it integrated stealth as its core element. From what I saw, I was immediately reminded of the Splinter Cell series.
Lighting & Shadow System
The game lets you infiltrate enemy places with a silenced pistol, an assault rifle, and night vision goggles. You can use the pistol to destroy the bulbs to move in pure shadows. Speaking of light, it isn’t only for aesthetic reasons.
There’s a light meter in this game much similar to the older Splinter Cell games. Depending on where you are, the light meter shifts. You have to be careful around enemies and often have to rely on shadows to sneak your way in.
Many fans of this genre will be pleased by this lighting feature. The Splinter Cell Remake is expected to feature ray tracing to enhance gameplay, which could add more immersion to this feature. It would be great if EVR Studio also does that.
Hide The Bodies
You can also lure the enemies towards you by using throwable objects, which indicates the implementation of sound cues. After eliminating the enemies, you can also drag their bodies to hide them from other enemies, just like in Hitman.
High-Action Non Stealth Gameplay
But stealth isn’t the only thing this game focuses on; it also integrates high-octane action. The mechanics of this game purely resemble Splinter Cell Conviction, which could’ve been the foundation for a John-Wick game.
The outdoor gameplay mechanics and outlook scream of Metal Gear Solid, which is also Ubisoft’s inspiration for the Splinter Cell Remake. With how EVR Studio is progressing, there’s a chance that they could outpace Ubisoft in their own genre.
Brutal AI
We could see how explosive the game gets when stealth is taken out of the equation. The enemies are brutal and, in some cases, flocking towards you like zombies. The AI is pretty enhanced and deals damage even from a far distance.
Destructible Environment
Not only that, but the game features destructible environments. This means that if you opt for action instead of stealth, you’ll be greeted by the brutal AI’s fire which will destroy the items around you.
You can see how this indoor office has turned into a ruin in a matter of seconds as enemies opened fire. The monitor flies away; the grenade blows up the tables, and the broken fragments are scattered on the ground, all adding to the immersion.
Unhinged Melee
The melee combat is also outstanding. The game has various animations, some of which are like finishers that take more time and act as the ‘final blow.’ These animations range from slashing the neck to repeatedly stabbing your enemies.
Will The Koreans Beat Ubisoft?
As a lifelong Splinter Cell fan, I’ve waited for games that resemble the older titles of this series. While I’m excited for Ubisoft’s remake, chances are it won’t be released before 2026.
Project TH might come out by the end of this year (2025) and, if executed perfectly, would satisfy the big itch for stealth fans. If done right, it could dominate the genre and even beat Ubisoft in its own field.
