Tom Clancy's is a branding used by video game company Ubisoft for video games featuring the works of American author Tom Clancy (whilst a majority of the games are unrelated to Clancy's work).
In 1996, Clancy co-founded the video game developer Red Storm Entertainment. He has had his name on several of Red Storm's most successful games. Red Storm was later bought by publisher Ubisoft Entertainment, which continued to use the Clancy name, though the extent of Clancy's actual involvement with creation of the games and development of intellectual properties, if any, was unclear. This game series includes:
In 2008, Ubisoft acquired the rights to Clancy's namesake.
The Rainbow Six series: Squad-based first person tactical shooters, based on the novel of the same name, typically taking place in closed urban environments. 18 Rainbow Six games have been produced so far.
The Ghost Recon series: Squad-based first- and third-person tactical shooters. As opposed to the Rainbow Six games, Ghost Recon usually takes place in larger, outdoor environments. There have been 13 Ghost Recon games so far.
The Splinter Cell series: Third-person covert-ops stealth games; lately spawned a line of books written by a series of different authors, all writing under the pseudonym David Michaels.
The EndWar series: Real-time tactics strategic war game; set in a speculative World War III, taking place in 2020.
