The Cary-based video game studio Red Storm Entertainment, a pioneering company co-founded by the late thriller novelist Tom Clancy, has announced it will halt all internal game development. This strategic shift will result in the layoff of over 100 employees at its North Carolina headquarters.
The studio, established in 1996, was instrumental in creating the iconic "Rainbow Six" and "Ghost Recon" franchises, setting a lasting standard for tactical military shooters. For years, it operated as a key creative hub within the Ubisoft family, contributing to major titles and developing its own original properties.
Company statements indicate the layoffs are part of a broader restructuring. Moving forward, Red Storm will transition its focus solely to providing support services for existing online games developed by other Ubisoft studios. The company has expressed its commitment to supporting affected employees through this transition, including severance packages and assistance in finding new roles within the wider industry.
This move marks a significant end of an era for a studio deeply woven into the fabric of modern gaming history, leaving a legacy of influential titles that reshaped a popular genre. The impact on the local tech community in Cary is substantial, as the studio has long been a major employer in the region's vibrant gaming sector.
