Netflix's Splinter Cell: Deathwatch has already been picked up for a second season

I'm starting to wish Ubisoft worked as quickly as Netflix.

Here we are a mere one day after Netflix's new animated series Splinter Cell: Deathwatch dropped, and it's already been picked up for a second season. That's fast and, I assume, a good sign that the show's multivision goggles are drawing a lot of eyeballs.

Meanwhile, Ubisoft is giving us nothin'. We're still waiting for a new Splinter Cell game and it's been more than a decade since the last one, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, which was released way back in 2013. And even though Ubisoft has confirmed that it's working on a remake of the original Splinter Cell, we haven't heard hardly anything about it in several years.

I even took the opportunity to ask Splinter Cell: Blacklist director Guillaume Dousse if he could shed some light on the next Splinter Cell game when we chatted last week, but he regretfully said he didn't have "the security clearance" to get us any new info.

Ah well, I tried. Dousse, a longtime fan of the Splinter Cell games, will serve as supervising producer on Splinter Cell: Deathwatch Season 2, as well as direct its first episode, according to an email sent to PC Gamer.

I watched and reviewed the first season of Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, and it's good: the lean episodes and brisk pace give the series an efficiency I appreciated. While the show doesn't have as much stealth as I'd have liked, and the absence of Michael Ironside as Sam Fisher is hard to get over, it's still worth a watch.
