Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6: Patriots was a tactical first-person shooter video game and part of the Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six series. It was announced on the cover of the December 2011 issue of Game Informer. The game was to be published by Ubisoft, and was developed by the company's Montreal studio, with additional development by Ubisoft Toronto and Red Storm Entertainment. Due to the death of Tom Clancy in October 2013, concern was raised that Patriots would be the final game credited with his name; Ubisoft has since stated that they will continue to apply Tom Clancy's name on future Tom Clancy titles, out of respect for the late author.
