Ubisoft has teamed up with Netflix to create an anime series based on the popular video game franchise, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, according to a Variety report.

John Wick writer Derek Kolstad, who is also working on the upcoming Just Cause film, will be the writer and executive producer on the series. Sources say Netflix has ordered two seasons with a total of 16 episodes. 

The First Splinter Cell video game released in 2002 for the original Xbox and later for the PlayStation 2, GameCube, PC, and more. The last release, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, came out in 2013 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, and PC.

Loved Blacklist on the PS3 and I watch Netflix stuff all the time so I'm definitely hyped for this.

Doesn’t seem likely. It’s gone a whole console generation without a release, which usually isn’t a good sign for the state of a franchise.

It would translate better to an anime than the dry political narratives of Splinter Cell. I think so anyway. Matybe it won't bear much resemblance to the source material.
