Netflix Unveils First trailer For Splinter Cell: Deathwatch Anime

Netflix has unveiled the first trailer and October 14th release date for Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, an anime adaptation of Ubisoft’s stealth-action franchise. Revealed at Anime NYC, the moody teaser features Sam Fisher, voiced by Liev Schreiber, navigating rain-soaked streets, masked assassins, and explosive gunfights, embodying the series’ trademark espionage style. Written by John Wick creator Derek Kolstad, the adaptation marks the first major Splinter Cell project since 2013’s Blacklist, quelling long-dormant hopes for a new game. The trailer teases intrigue but keeps its storyline under wraps, emphasizing tense atmospherics and brutal action. Killing Eve star Kirby Howell-Baptiste joins as new agent Zinnia McKenna, with more cast still unannounced. For fans, Deathwatch offers a stylish substitute while waiting for Ubisoft’s next move.
