E308: Tom Clancy's future is 'more than games'
During the
Ubisoft Press Conference, Ubisoft America president Laurent Detoc discussed the future of the
Tom Clancy franchise. Citing the recent acquisition of
Hybride, the CGI studio behind such films as
300 and
Sin City, Detoc stated the future of the
Tom Clancy franchise is more than games. Considering
Ubisoft owns the
Tom Clancy license Detoc says books and television are possibilities. Film is not mentioned but Ubisoft has mentioned the power of movies in the past so we expect it is high on their list of possibilities.
Detoc also reminded conference viewers that this is the tenth anniversary of Tom Clancy, which has sold 55 million combined units.
