The legendary black-ops agent Sam Fisher is making a highly anticipated return in the adult animated series Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Deathwatch.
This series marks the first animated adaptation of Ubisoft’s beloved stealth-action franchise, aiming to expand the lore and introduce a new, grizzled take on the iconic operative.
Deathwatch is not a reboot, but is canon to the events of the main Splinter Cell video game series, picking up years after the last main game, Blacklist.
The story begins with Sam living a secluded life as a farmer in Poland, before he’s pulled back into action when a wounded, young Splinter Cell agent seeks his help.
The series explores themes of modern espionage, hybrid warfare, and the nature of “analog” soldiers in a digital world, revolving around a global conspiracy tied to a green tech company named Xanadu.
