Ubisoft still isnΓÇÖt giving us a new Splinter Cell game, but Sam Fisher fans
are at least getting an animated TV adaptation very soon. At this weekΓÇÖs
Anime NYC convention, Netflix revealed a new teaser trailer for the upcoming
Splinter Cell: Deathwatch and confirmed that the series will come to the
service on October 14.

Written by John Wick creator Derek Kolstad and starring Liev Schreiber as an
older ΓÇö but still decidedly badass ΓÇö Sam Fisher, Splinter Cell:
Deathwatch was first announced back in 2020, but we hadnΓÇÖt learned much
more until now. In the brief trailer, we see the National Security AgencyΓÇÖs
most reliable stealth operative doing a fair bit of his trademark sneaking
around in the shadows, after returning to the field for what he calls a
"personal" mission. I also quite like how liberally the iconic Splinter Cell
night vision goggles sound is used in the trailer.

The voice cast also includes The SandmanΓÇÖs Kirby Howell-Baptise as Zinnia
McKenna, an original character, and Janet Garvey as Anna Grimsdottir, a
fellow agent who provided tech support to Fisher in the Splinter Cell games.
The trailer itself doesnΓÇÖt give much away about the plot, but we do see the
grave of Douglas Shetland, a close friend of Fisher who he was ordered to
eliminate in fan favorite game entry, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.

Ubisoft is doing some interesting things in the adult animation space. The
completely bonkers Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix reimagined Rayman
as a foul-mouthed TV host and is littered with deep cut Ubisoft references.
And somewhat inevitably, an animated AssassinΓÇÖs Creed show is also
currently in development, though we donΓÇÖt have a date for that one yet.
