Tom Clancy's (Video Game Brand)

Tom Clancy's is a branding used Ubisoft Entertainment for video games, some of which feature the works of American author Tom Clancy, while a majority of the games are unrelated to Clancy's work. The various sub-series are unrelated to each other, although most are shooters in modern or near-future military settings.

History

In 1996, Tom 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 Ubisoft in 2000, 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. In 2008, Ubisoft acquired the rights to Clancy's name for video games.
