Earlier this month, Fraser made his displeasure over elaborate trolling" that's been stringing fans along for seven years. Well folks, I'm here to tell you that it's not done with us yet: There's still no sign of a new Splinter Cell game, but Variety reports that Ubi has signed a deal with Netflix to make a Splinter Cell anime series.
The series will be written by John Wick co-creator Derek Kolstad, who has a number of other gaming-related projects in the works including a Hitman series for Hulu, although I'm not sure what the status on that one is at this point. Kolstad will also serve as executive producer, according to the report, which says that 16 episodes, for two seasons, have been ordered.
Splinter Cell, a stealth-action game about a modern-day ninja that's voiced to perfection by cameo appearances (with Ironside back in the saddle) and, most recently—raising Fraser's ire—a spot in the mobile game Elite Tactics.
Neither Ubisoft nor Netflix commented on the Variety report, but I've reached out to both and will update if I receive a reply.
