Red Storm Entertainment, Inc. — американская студия разработки видеоигр, расположенная в Кэри, Северная Каролина, и входящая в состав Ubisoft. Студия была основана в ноябре 1996 года писателем Томом Клэнси, менеджером Дугом Литтлджоном и компанией-разработчиком программного обеспечения Virtus Corporation. Red Storm наиболее известна разработкой игр во вселенной Тома Клэнси, включая серии Rainbow Six и Ghost Recon. Последним заметным проектом студии стала Assassin's Creed Nexus VR, получившая премию TIGA 2024 года в категории «Лучшая VR/AR/XR/MR-игра» и 16-ю ежегодную премию Unity в категории «Лучшая AR/VR-игра». Ubisoft приобрела студию в августе 2000 года.
После основания Vantage Studios в Ubisoft появились так называемые «творческие дома» (или Creative Houses). Все они, кроме упомянутой Vantage, были безымянными, что, похоже, не сильно нравилось руководству. - Студии: Ubisoft Abu Dhabi, Barcelona Mobile, Ketchapp, Kalibri Games, Paris, Ubisoft Mobile Games, Ubisoft Paris Mobile. - Студии: Ubisoft Annecy, Berlin, Bordeaux, Chengdu, Da Nang, Dusseldorf, Kyiv/Odessa/Warsaw, Paris, Pune, Manila, RedLynx, Red Storm, Reflections, Romania, Shanghai, Singapore.
