Splinter Cell fans got a major surprise this afternoon with the announcement of a new animated series from Ubisoft and Netflix. Franchise star Sam Fisher has made cameos in a number of games over the last few years, but fans have been waiting for a new game in the Splinter Cell series since 2013. The new Netflix series is certainly not the announcement that fans were expecting, and many are a bit disappointed, as a result. With the talent involved, it seems likely that Splinter Cell fans might change their tunes as the show’s release gets closer, but for now, the news seems bittersweet, to say the least.

Well, that’s a bit pessimistic.
It doesn’t how many Netflix series and mobile games he’s featured in… Splinter Cell isn’t coming back.

Castlevania fans can relate.
Splinter Cell fans have been begging for a game for years and they get an animated series instead. Existence is pain. https://t.co/7BPP0v8YTa

Seeing something trending can definitely go either way…
PISSED. I saw Splinter Cell trending and my heart skipped a beat. That was my favorite Tom Clancy game. I don’t care about the show, I want a new game!
