The official trailer for Netflix and Ubisoft’s upcoming animated collection, Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, provides us a a lot better take a look at this new model of Sam Fisher and lets us hear extra of Liev Schreiber because the getting older operative. And whereas I used to be nervous at first, I now really feel assured that Schreiber can pull this off. Now let’s simply hope the present itself is sweet, too. On September 16, Ubisoft launched the official trailer for Splinter Cell: Deathwatch. The brand new animated present adapts Ubisoft’s common stealth-action online game franchise into an episodic collection that may premiere on Netflix solely on October 14. Right here’s the trailer, which options Sam Fisher doing what you count on: sneaking round, sporting cool goggles, killing folks with wire, and being cranky about stuff. We get to listen to extra of Liev Schreiber’s tackle Sam Fisher, and whereas it’s completely different than the model established by Michael Ironside, I admire that he nonetheless seems like an outdated man who’s about to snap at any level, and if he does, God assist anybody caught in his means. Whereas I’ll miss Ironside, who voiced the character within the authentic video games, I’m pleased that Sam is in good palms. And truthfully, I’m simply excited to get extra Splinter Cell in any kind.
On this new trailer, we study extra about what this present is definitely about. After a youthful agent, Zinnia, will get her palms on some worthwhile intel, she involves Sam Fisher for assist. This brings Fisher right into a mission that entails Douglas Shetland, a villainous character and former good friend from the Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Idea video games. His daughter is all grown up and working what seems to be an evil company of some form. Uh oh! Curiously, within the trailer, we briefly see the ending of Chaos Idea, with Sam and Douglas standing with weapons pointed at one another. It additionally looks like this collection makes it canon that Sam Fisher shot Shetland. Within the recreation, it was a selection between taking pictures him and never taking pictures him. If you happen to didn’t pull the set off, Shetland would shoot at Sam, forcing him to dodge Shetland’s assault earlier than stabbing and killing him. It’s not 100% clear but if Deathwatch is canon with the video games, however whether it is, I’m wondering what else the present will introduce into the franchise’s (surprisingly) sprawling lore. Splinter Cell: Deathwatch is being written and produced by John Wick author Derek Kolstad. It is going to be accessible on Netflix on October 14.
