Sam Fisher, the spy who made Ubisoft what it is today, has returned in the
Splinter Cell/Ghost Recon: Wildlands extension called
Special Operation 1. Michael Ironside (T
op Gun, Starship Troopers) is also reprising his role in the DLC and the rumor says that a new
Splinter Cell game will be shown at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles. But the other series doesn't have that comfort.
After mediocre
Metal Gear Survive (60% on Metacritic) and Kojima's departure, who created the series from the scratch for Konami, it looks like the
Metal Gear series is, at least temporally, put on hiatus.
"I've heard they don't make them like me anymore. There was this other guy though - Army Infiltration," Fisher says. "He wore a bandana or something." Karen Bowman, the Ghosts' CIA contact in Wildlands and apparently an old acquaintance of Fisher's, says that guy finally retired. "Then it's only me," Fisher responds, losing himself in reminiscence for a moment before the cutscene continues.
You guessed it, it's a direct to Big Boss, Metal Gear Solid's protagonists. The first, and in many ways, revolutionary Splinter Call was released in 2002, a year after Metal Gear Solid 2. The two stalth games were totally different in themes and gameplay mechanisms, but Sam Fisher and Solid Snakea are still some of the most recognizable game characters. "The world called for wetwork, and they answered."
