Red Storm Entertainment Links Up with Zombie Studios
Zombie Studios will help to create game levels for upcoming interactive guide, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Covert Operations Essentials.
MORRISVILLE, NC –April 12, 2000—Once notable genre competitors, Red Storm Entertainment Inc. today announced that Zombie Studios, best known for its SPEC OPS series, will help to create game levels for Red Storm’s upcoming interactive guide, 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. Red Storm recently announced the deal with developer Magic Lantern Playware to create the informational content for this project, within their proprietary ShowTech application environment. Now, both Zombie and Red Storm will be creating various game levels for this product as well.
“We’re all incredibly excited about the opportunity to work on the Rainbow Six franchise – we’re huge fans of the game,” Zombie President Mark Long said. “Combat realism is what we’re all about at Zombie, and it doesn’t get any more real than Rainbow Six.”
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 will be showing Covert Ops at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in booth 1246, South Hall, Los Angeles, Convention Center, May 11-13, 2000.
