Tom Clancy Games Changed Ubisoft, Says CEO Yves Guillemot
From Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six to Splinter Cell and The Division, the license has given birth to some exceedingly successful franchises for Ubosoft. Recently, while speaking with IGN, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot spoke about the same, acknowledging that it was only after their acquisition of Red Storm and the Tom Clancy license that the publisher went from being mid-sized to a major name in the industry.
“The first one that changed the lot of the company was Splinter Cell,” said Guillemot. “We went for the Xbox, and it was a complex bet, and a dangerous bet because they didn’t have many machines [out there]. Launching on that machine and not PlayStation at the time was a bit risky, but we couldn’t go straight on PlayStation. We wanted to use the capacity of the [Xbox]. We did very well on Xbox. We hit probably 50 percent of the install base.”
In the same interview, Guillemot also spoke about Splinter Cell, why the series has been absent for so long, and when we might expect to see more of it.

maDziKorupt Is this the buildup to Rainbow Six Siege 2?????
Rainbow 6 Siege 2 will never happen. They plan on supporting R6 for another decade. Ubisoft's roadmap shows 100 operators total. 50 attack / 50 defense.
Siege is a game I honestly see maintaining that level of longevity. It's one of the few shooters I would consider perfect, even with its flaws, glitches and bugs. It has a really well-balanced feeling and the competitive side of the game is exactly as it should be. Only changes I would like to see are some more game modes, like TDM and the like.
