Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Deathwish follows Fisher, a black ops agent working for a US government division called the Fourth Echelon.
In the first look at the upcoming series, a pair of goggles sinks in water and flowers are placed on the coffin of a man named Douglas Shetland. The words “Beloved Father” are inscribed on the wooden casket, and Fisher narrates, “Once you get used to the shadows, you see bad people for who they really are. And they’ll never see you coming for them.”
The first Splinter Cell video game was released in 2002. In the mid-2000s, a series of novels followed Fisher during his missions as a black ops agent.
The series comes from Ubisoft Film & Television and animation studios Sun Creature and Fost. It is directed by Guillaume Dousse and Félicien Colmet-Daage. Derek Kolstad is head writer. The executive producers are Kolstad and Hélène Juguet, Hugo Revon and Gérard Guillemot for Ubisoft.
