The boss of Ubisoft Toronto, Jade Raymond, announces the company is set to unveil the studio's first project which has been labeled as a "Triple A" title.
It appears the game will most likely be a new Splinter Cell game and not a brand new IP or series based on what was hinted in the announcement.
Quote:
“We are about to announce our first big triple-A being developed by the studio,” she told CVG. “I’ve got to say I think it’s going better than I could’ve imagined. I’m really amazed at the team we’ve put together and what we’ve been able to accomplish and I think Ubisoft is pretty excited too. Soon we’ll find out what everyone else thinks!”
Back in 2010, the studio announced it was working on its first title, an installment in the “Splinter Cell” franchise, which Raymond confirms the studio is ”100% focused” on. Furthermore, Raymond denies any involvement with a new IP at this time, saying, “We’re not actually working on a big new IP yet within the studio. It’s one of the mandates, and we’re definitely starting up some things in that direction, but we’re not working on a big new IP yet. Right now we’re 100% focused on Splinter Cell.”

Ubisoft created the Toronto studio in 2009 and promoted the producer of the Assassin's Creed series as the boss for the studio. While the studio's is currently helping out Ubisoft Montreal with the new Rainbow Six game, this "Triple A" project would be the first full title they are developing on their own.
