In 2052, an emergency task force is assembled when a miracle cure is hijacked for purging populations.
Lazarus keeps the spy-myth tension of Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, with covert competence under pressure and missions that escalate fast. The near-future emergency task force vibe scratches the same itch for secrecy and urgency, but it leans more into institutional crisis and high-casualty stakes than veteran mentorship.
When an assassination links a veteran MI5 agent to a conspiracy, he races to find the truth and protect his career, his marriage, and his country.
Betrayal delivers the same tight, suspicion-soaked pressure as Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, where every move risks exposing you. A veteran operative juggling professional loyalty and a collapsing marriage creates that hunter-and-suspect feeling, but it’s more investigation-driven and less action-forward.
Follows Shaan Sengupta, an ex-soldier, who must infiltrate an arms dealer's inner circle to bring down his empire of war.
The Night Manager matches Splinter Cell: Deathwatch with deception-heavy tension, where danger comes from staying believable in hostile rooms. An ex-soldier embedding inside a criminal empire keeps the pacing deliberate and the stakes personal, but it’s colder and more solitary than the veteran-and-recruit partnership.
