Yes, Rainbow Six: Siege is absolutely an excellent multiplayer game, but this is getting to the point of ridicule. Ubisoft is adding Sam Fisher of Splinter Cell fame to its popular online title. The silent assassin will be the tactical experience's next Operator, meaning he is appearing in nearly every game that makes up Ubisoft's portfolio outside of an actual Splinter Cell game. The character model is different and so too is the voice actor, but that's Sam Fisher alright.
Alongside a recent appearance in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint and the announcement of an animated Netflix show based on the franchise, this will now be the third time in just a few months that the stealthy soldier has been brought back from the dead. To be fair, we're sure Sam Fisher will do just fine in the world of Rainbow Six: Siege, but this isn't what the wider community is looking for. Come on Ubisoft, give us that Splinter Cell reboot. It feels like we're on our knees begging at this point.

Is it to hard to make a game now
That’s pretty cool to be fair. I’ve had enough of online shooters due to constant toxicity and people being insanely vile but if I was ever going to go back to Siege, it would be for him.
Ubisoft are probably just trying to workout how to add micro transactions to a single player stealth game. Then it'll get announced pretty sharpish.
Can't wait to be TK'd because I picked him!
This is a joke at this point..Include him in everything except a Splinter Cell game.
If they can't come up with ideas for a new entry then at least remaster the original trilogy or port Blacklist to consoles
All Ubisoft games feel the same nowadays.
There must be a game in development!
I’ve never known a character to be utilised so much outside of an actual game in their franchise
My female Nomad > Sam Fisher.
I wish Ubisoft would sell the Splinter Cell rights to another team, like Insomniac or Naughty Dog. I’m worried the next SC game will be a generic open world RPG looter with absolutely no connection to what made Splinter Cell great. It’ll be designed around micro transactions, poor AI & the biggest map ever for a video game. Sam Fisher will probably be a Viking
They are just trolling us at this point but hopefully they have a next gen Splinter Cell to announce at some point in the near future, they seem to be using SF in few games of late so I suspect something is brewing!
Ubisoft are probably still trying to figure out how to squeeze a stealth game into their open world cookie cutter
UbiSoft don't care for gamers fan base about any of there IPs they want you to play there boring generic same game slightly different story but the same ideas fetch quests etc games. They want you to buy MTs in there games like people are doing for Fortnite like EA, Activision etc they want that Fortnite pie and they'll use some of the famous IPs to try and get ot
Much the same reason as why I fear we won't see a new Rayman, or Beyond Good & Evil 2 changing to an MMO,rather than the single player Jayde story picking up from where the first one left off.
Unless they can make Sam/Sammie jump off towers,cram it into a MMO-esque live service & buy reskins of better outfits/weapons, they're not interested. We can't even get the ps3 HD ports of BG&E 1,Splinter Cell triology,or Rayman Origins on current gen,so not holding my breath for their next-gen appearances!
For what it’s worth, Ubisoft put Warden from For Honor into SNK’s Samurai Shodown, but not Sam Fisher...well, not yet, anyway.
I know it's Capcom, but heck let's do a Monster Hunter crossover quest with Sam!
I hope he can do the "split across a hallway" move so he can surprise people from above.
This is becoming ubisofts version of 'starring Dante from the Devil May Cry series'
