Netflix revealed the October 14 release date and first trailer for Splinter Cell: Deathwatch – an animated adaptation of Ubisoft's stealthy cool guy franchise – at the Anime NYC convention tonight, and the teaser is filled with more stealthy cool guys than you could ever imagine.

Well, unless you've actually played an installment of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell series, which has been quiet (an important aspect of being sneaky!) since Blacklist released in 2013. Fans hoped that the portrait Ubisoft shared on Twitter earlier this summer of protagonist Sam Fisher looking angry and retired meant there was a new Splinter Cell game on the way, but now it seems like they'd be better off accepting a TV show in its place.
