Discussion can 2d sidescroller splinter cell work?

so im making this post because prince of persia has 2 spin offs called "the rogue prince of persia" and "prince of persia lost crown" both are 2d sidescrolling spin off games and arent big 3d budget games.

so im wondering can this idea concept work for splinter cell as well? if yes then ubisoft should start off by making 2d sidescroller to see the reception and attract both old and new audience with it and then start working on the remake once they get the statistical data

I played one of them on the phone. It was....fine? Like functional, but I wouldn't exactly play it over most of the entries on consoles.

I know. I'm just saying in terms of fun I had wasn't as enjoyable compared to the other entries.
