Splinter Cell is returning in a big way next year with Blacklist, following up the events of Conviction with the closing of the Third Echelon and the founding of the Fourth Echelon, with series protagonist Sam Fisher at its head. But what happened in the gap between Conviction and Blacklist? That’s what Splinter Cell Echoes, a graphic novel set to release in 2013, will attempt to fill in. Echoes will have writing from Nathan Edmondson and art from Marc Laming, and will set the stage for Blacklist.
From Nathan Edmondson:
Sam Fisher is a legend, but this story is our own. We are working with Ubisoft to add something special to the Splinter Cell canon that will simultaneously be exciting to fans of the series while being a thrilling stand-alone read. Together with Marc Laming, Studio Lounak, and the Ubisoft Toronto team, we’re shedding new light on Sam Fisher.
Take a quick look at the four preview pages released by Ubisoft this morning (1, 4, 10, and 14):
