Tom Clancy MMO Planned
By Pete Haas: 2008-03-21 14:10:58
Thursday was just an avalanche of Tom Clancy news. Rainbow Six Vegas 2 was released and Ubisoft announced that it purchased the perpetual rights for all of Clancy's work. In addition, now that they don't have to pay royalties anymore, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said they're going to use the Clancy license to make a massive multiplayer online game.
"Having no fees, it's going to give us a full return, [so] we've really decided now to go for an MMO on the Clancy name, which is big," said Guillemot to Next Gen. Guillemot added that the project was not actually in production yet and they were still uncertain as to how they would utilize the Clancy brand. "You have Splinter Cell, Sam Fisher, the Rainbow [Sixes], the GRAWs and all the other new creations we have. So this [IP acquisition] will make that [MMO] product a really big product." Clancy's works - at least the ones that have been adapted to video games thus far - generally set around modern-day covert operations by the United States government. I can picture some sort of stealth-action MMO where players are all members of some secret agency and form small teams to go out on missions together. Ubisoft has shown itself to be pretty adept at turning Clancy's books into entertaining games in the past and they certainly have the financial muscle to embark on a project this size, so this project is something worth keeping an eye on.
