Next month, Splinter Cell’s Sam Fisher is coming out of retirement in a new Netflix animated series, Splinter Cell: Deathwatch. While the show will feature a new story that’s not adapted from the games, the latest trailer for Deathwatch reveals that one of the primary adversaries is someone with a link to Sam’s past.
The previous trailer for Deathwatch had a quick glimpse of a gravestone for Douglas Shetland, who was a character in the Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory games. Douglas was also one of Sam’s closest friends, but when he turned against his country, Sam felt there was no other choice but to kill him.
This trailer briefly revisits the final moments of Doug’s life before jumping back to his grave. Sam’s decision appears to be coming back to haunt him, now that Douglas’ daughter, Diana Shetland, has emerged as the CEO of Xanadu, the corporation that’s pulling the strings of a new crisis.
