Ubisoft reveals a trio of new animated shows coming to Netflix
As part of Netflix’s Geeked, a celebration of all their content from shows like Lucifer, to upcoming original movies like Gunpowder Milkshake, the team have been sharing a lot of news.
Today though, they revealed the first look at two new Ubisoft related shows and teased a third, first up is the first reveal of Sam Fisher for the upcoming Splinter Cell show.
Here's your first look at the Splinter Cell animated series, an adaptation of the bestselling @Ubisoft game.

There is of course no other details, but as it is animated, fingers crossed that Michael Ironside is brought in to breath life back into Sam Fisher.
The second reveal is that of Captain Laserhawk, A Blood Dragon Remix, which is based around the Blood Dragon sub-series that Far Cry kicked off.

The series is being overseen by Adi Shankar, who folks might recall is the person that brought Castlevania to Netflix, via that animated series. When describing this, Shankar said “think Captain N: The Game Masters but good ... or the Bootleg Universe short films without copyright infringement!“
So that has the potential to be totally amazing, or a mess of epic proportions, either way, it will be interesting.
The final show they announced, doesn’t have anything other than a log and that is Far Cry.

There are no release windows for any of the shows, but the future is looking bright, except for Splinter Cell, that is looking dark, because we know that is where Sam Fisher shines
