The official trailer for Netflix and Ubisoft’s upcoming animated sequence, Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, offers 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 fashionable stealth-action online game franchise into an episodic sequence that may premiere on Netflix completely on October 14. Right here’s the trailer, which options Sam Fisher doing what you count on: sneaking round, carrying cool goggles, killing individuals 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it’s completely different than the model established by Michael Ironside, I admire that he nonetheless appears like an outdated man who’s about to snap at any level, and if he does, God assist anybody caught in his manner. Whereas I’ll miss Ironside, who voiced the character within the unique video games, I’m joyful that Sam is in good fingers. And honestly, I’m just excited to get more Splinter Cell in any form.
On this new trailer, we be taught extra about what this present is definitely about. After a youthful agent, Zinnia, will get her fingers on some precious intel, she involves Sam Fisher for assist. This brings Fisher right into a mission that includes Douglas Shetland, a villainous character and former buddy from the Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Concept video games. His daughter is all grown up and operating what seems to be an evil company of some sort. Uh oh!
Apparently, within the trailer, we briefly see the ending of Chaos Theory, with Sam and Douglas standing with weapons pointed at one another. It additionally looks as if this sequence makes it canon that Sam Fisher shot Shetland. Within the sport, it was a selection between capturing him and never capturing him. For those who 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 yet if Deathwatch is canon with the 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. Will probably be out there on Netflix on October 14.
