Red Storm Entertainment is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ubisoft Entertainment, specializing in PC games, console games, and related merchandise mainly based on the works of the writer Tom Clancy. The headquarters for Red Storm is located in Morrisville, North Carolina.

History

In 1985, shortly after Tom Clancy found success with his book, "The Hunt for Red October", he met a British Royal Navy captain named Doug Littlejohns and used Littlejohns' technical advice for his next novel, "Red Storm Rising".

In 1996 Clancy decided to start a multimedia entertainment company, once again going to Littlejohns for advice. Littlejohns became the president and CEO of the company.

At this time the company was co-owned by Virtus Corporation. After partnering with Pearson PLC, Red Storm released its first title, "Tom Clancy's Politika", in November 1997. A novel of the same name was packaged with the game.

Red Storm Entertainment’s second game was the beginning of their Rainbow Six franchise, "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six". Weeks after the game was released Clancy released a novel of the same name.

In 2000, Ubisoft purchased Red Storm Entertainment, and it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Ubisoft. Since the departure of Littlejohns, Steve Reid has been managing director.
