Michael Ironside was close to refuse Ubisoft‘s offer…

In Inside Xbox, Microsoft’s video series, he showed up and talked about things such as his role in Ghost Recon: Wildlands’ Special Operation 1 DLC (which, along with the game, has a free weekend at the moment).

Ironside said that initially, he wanted to refuse to be the protagonist of the Splinter Cell series, because he considered Sam Fisher to be a „one-line, two-dimensional, lacking organics” character. Then, he helped Ubisoft Montreal to rewrite the character, and as inspiration for Fisher’s backstory, Ironside recalled a 70’s era encounter with a Ukrainian mercenary…

The interview starts roughly at twenty-one minutes in the video. Still, we should appreciate Ironside for his efforts, as he was the reason why Sam Fisher became so memorable. However, we have to question something: is Ubisoft testing the waters for a new Splinter Cell game…?

We do embed a video below, though. Sam Fisher bids farewell to Snake (Metal Gear Solid)! „Then it’s only me…”
