Sam Fisher returns after a 12-year hiatus. The veteran of the Fourth Echelon will face the consequences of Chaos Theory.
At Anime NYC, Netflix, in collaboration with Ubisoft, presented the first trailer for the animated series Splinter Cell: Deathwatch.

The cast also includes Kirby Howell-Baptiste ("The Sandman") as Cinnia McKenna, Janet Varney ("The Legend of Korra") as Anna Grimsdottir, and Joel Oulette (Netflix's "Avatar: The Last Airbender") as a character named Thunder. Anna Grimsdottir is known to fans of the series as the head of technical support in the Third Echelon, while Cinnia and Thunder are new characters to the franchise.
According to the official synopsis, Sam Fisher returns to duty when a wounded young agent turns to him for help.
