Ubisoft's Tom Clancy games started as shooters based on the famous spy novels, but the French video game company has expanded the games' various premises in recent years.
While some of the more recent entries continue the modern and near-future militaristic settings, Ubisoft has explored other venues as well. Case in point, Rainbow Six Extraction. After the success of the limited-time event in Rainbow Six Siege, Outbreak, Ubisoft made an entire game out of it, telling the story of how a team of three attempts to fight back against what looks like an alien threat.
Now, Ubisoft is taking cues from another shooter to create a new Tom Clancy game.
From Project BattleCat to XDefiant
In June, rumors of a new Tom Clancy game circulated. Leakers claimed that Ubisoft was working on a first-person multiplayer shooter that would have brought together factors from Splinter Cell, The Division, and Ghost Recon in a game that worked very similarly to Blizzard's hero-shooter, Overwatch.
