included in Chaos Theory back in 2005. Nothing else ever materialized after that until 2017, when it was announced that Tom Hardy had been cast as Sam Fisher. Nothing has further developed since then. - Netflix announced they are developing an animated series based on the franchise in 2020, but even that doesn't seem to move forward.
- The movie adaptation project had a teaser
- Fake American: Michael Ironside, the voice of American agent Sam Fisher in every game except Blacklist, is Canadian.
- The Original Darrin: Michael Ironside was not available to voice Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell: Blacklist due to his cancer treatment, but came back to voice him in Ghost Recon Wildlands, and has reprised the role in Ghost Recon Breakpoint.
- You Sound Familiar: Philip Masse, Douglas Shetland and one of Andriy Kobin's thugs were all voiced by Marcel Jeannin.
Other trivia:
- The concept of Third Echelon, a heavily compartmentalized covert unit dedicated to gathering intelligence in highly sensitive locations, would find striking similarities in the real-world Special Collection Service, a joint CIA-NSA unit that's dedicated to gathering intelligence in highly sensitive locations and has operated since The '70s.
