Red Storm Entertainment Announces An Interactive Guide To Covert Operations
Red Storm Entertainment, Inc. today announced that it will publish Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Covert Operations Essentials (Covert Ops).
MORRISVILLE, N.C., March 7, 2000 – Red Storm Entertainment, Inc. today announced that it will publish Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Covert Operations Essentials (Covert Ops). Covert Ops is an extension of the popular Rainbow Six franchise, in which players will not only get to play new and exciting levels, but will also get an insider’s look at the world of covert operations.
Bridging the gap between fiction and real-world special operations, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Covert Operations Essentials is an exciting overview covering the subject of counter-terrorism from 1970 until the present. Covert Ops will contain video interviews with top experts in the field, as well as photos and video footage of weapons and equipment, along with a description of situations where they are typically used. A special “Making of Rainbow Six and Rogue Spear” section is an added bonus. Players will also be able to test their skills and knowledge through interactive “Officer Candidate School” testing, as well as by playing the specially created game levels.
Red Storm Entertainment recently signed a deal with developer Magic Lantern Playware to create the informational content for this project, within their proprietary ShowTech application environment.
“This project really plays into our strengths—it’s a chance to utilize a unique technology that we’re developing and really sink our teeth into some fascinating subject matter as we sculpt the content for the title,” Magic Lantern President Paul Schuytema said. “Red Storm has a proven track record and some very exciting properties. It’s really an honor to get the opportunity to contribute to the Rainbow Six and Rogue Spear product lines.”
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Covert Operations Essentials is scheduled for release in Q3 2000, and will be shown at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, May 2000.
