It was rare that players would go in guns blazing - although that was always an option. Sam Fisher was (more often than not) a stealth agent working under the NSA. This can suggest that we’ll see Wick-style action, which doesn’t actually bring much confidence. Kolstad is the creator of the John Wick franchise, as both writer and producer. What we do know, however, is that the Splinter Cell anime is bringing in Derek Kolstad as writer.
Keighley acknowledged that even he was still left in the proverbial dark, saying “we don’t know much about it, but it does have a stacked talent team behind the show.” Could we see Michael Ironside reprise his role as Sam Fisher? One would certainly hope, but the cast remains a mystery for now. However, beyond a piece of art with a logo, there anything new to report. Geoff Keighley was on hand to chat about the upcoming show. The show got teased today during Netflix’s Geeked Week. However, Netflix may be able to scratch that stealthy itch, as a Splinter Cell anime is heading to the service with the John Wick creator as the writer. Honestly, that’s not exactly what fans have clamored for. This is a pleasant announcement as both the films and the show Kolstad has previously worked on came into critical acclaim.

He also helped write for Disney+ series Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Ubisoft has heard the cries, sort of, blending the franchise into its other Tom Clancy properties. The main writer for the Netflix Splinter Cell anime is Derek Kolstad, better known for creating the reputable John Wick series, starring Keanu Reeves. Since then, fans have often wondered if we’ll ever be able to sneak back into the shoes of Sam Fisher. It has been eight years since the last game in Ubisoft’s popular Splinter Cell franchise.
