The Tom Clancy Game Universe

Well, since it's YouBuySoft and not anyone who actually understands Tom Clancy's works that's writing these stories, I'm constantly pretty underwhelmed

R6:S and The Division (1 and 2) are undoubtedly connected,with R6:S having JTF2 (Frost and Buck) and The Division has JTF (Joint Task Force)

It’s a shame hawx isn’t available for Xbox anymore, always was obsessed with that game

Can't believe they just keep producing arcade style garbage after all these years. Just want it simple, if they focused on strong AI, and just missions, more than this open world arcade crap, the mission dlc could be endless. How about like SOCOM, where everything is available from the get, you choose your load out for the specific mission. How about a base from a plane, for missions like Splinter Cell. How about mission planning screens with programed team movements and go, hold commands, like old school Tom Clancy Rainbow 6. None of this full mag. garbage to kill something, or to save you from death and or mission failure. Most important, how about no mission replay, if you fail, the game moves forward and the campaign reflects failure or success of said missions. Ratings and rewards based on successful mission counts. If they make some strong basics, the mission dlc, as said could be endless.

My first one is the good ol' Chaos Theory.

I started with Rogue Spear!

Isn't Team Rainbow a Nato force? Not US only? Or am I missing something? I mean that explains the soldiers nations.

Idk if you will see this but please can you make a updated version with Tom clancy rainbow six seige extract its connect also

I’ve only played the Splinter Cell series since the first trilogy edition released.

I’m wondering if the first game is seperated from Pandora Tomorrow onwards.

The other games have clear connection to one another.

But the first one feels like originally it was based on a book and later they decide to spin-off to a full series.

That’s how I feel for someone who haven’t read any of the books or played the other games. 😅

Been playing tom clancy since the OG Rainbow 6, and ghost recon days. I honestly miss the more milsim nature the games had back then.

Wildlands has an Easter egg of the first division game, it was a radio call.. funny I played wildlands after Division.

What does NGN stand for?
Not Gonna Nut?

I never played any of the Tom Clancy games until recently I tried Ghost Recon Wildlands then I got curious about the connection between each titles.. it's the reason why I found your video because I'm looking for a reference on their timeline. Thanks!

I still don't understand how how the division has any connection to tom Clancy. Atleast ghost recon, rainbow six, hawx,splinter cell and endwar reference each other.

I think division is still apart of the universe but hasn't been activated and the events of the game would be what would happen if terrorists win and if other forces like ghost and r6 turn rogue or fall apart due to war so I think it can be tied but we would have to get a remake if we want to include it apart of the universe

The Division does exist in the Tom Clancy universe, it’s just that the pandemic didn’t happen. They were mentioned in the book Splinter Cell Firewall which is canon to the Tom Clancy universe

L have r6, ghost recon bold and the devision 1,2 and l can say that l am feeling little creeps and real excitement from knowing that they are only one virus and island from nomad(leader of ghost recon) joining the devision if there is outbreak of virus or joining r6 if it needs to. Or how Saw Fisher could be one of the devision agents or even how the whole r6 teams to be fighting in the devision timeline and we just still to not know it

I know they said the first Rainbow game was in New York, but its gotta relate to Bartlett University in Massachusetts right when Rainbow six siege was released. There is clear inspiration behind the original game and the first map in Rainbow Six siege.

I've heard it said in other videos that the division is not in the same universe as the other clancy titles. Their claim was the developer made that statement.

Jack Ryan crossover when?

If you really want to get conspiratorial Far Cry 4, 5 and 6 all have references to Abstergo in them and the war at the end of 5 matches up with the beginning of Endwar and in New Dawn you can find references to Sam Fisher and the Division being activated right after the nukes dropped. Yara is also producing cancer curing poison to sell to the rest of the world.

It's not confirmed or anything but if the writers at Ubisoft wanted to, it wouldn't be hard to officially connect everything and have it make sense.

I for one think it would be hella funny if it turned out Huntley was working with a Ghost team and the reason Jason and Ajay and Rook were so inexplicably successful was because there were Ghosts doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes lol

NGN akways makes everything more intresting...

Splinter cell 1 take place four years before ghost recon 1 and rainbow six take place before ghost recon and splinter cell they take place before endwar and the division that was a tom Clancy timeline

not gonna talk about how metal gear might be in the same universe?

The first Tom Clancy game I played was Island Thunder on the OG Xbox, eons ago..

I think it stands to reason that The Division as an organization probably still exists in this universe, even if the events of the games don’t

Tom Clancy's games are so awesome.

I remember in Vegas 2 at the penthouse you're in contact with a NSA agent wearing night vision and getting to places undetected, though leaving bishop and his team to fight through them, and then just saying "I can't get in that place you're on your own" just thanks for the help random splinter cell

Man i cant even remember the title of the first ghist recon game i played back in like 2005 or 6. All i know is that it was on the O.G. Xbox. I stopped playing tom clancy games after rainbowsix vegas 2 cause every game after that just bored me. A guy at work got me into the division literally a week ago and im genuinely addicted

My head cannon dictates that The Division was a divergence of the timeline. Making it an alternate timeline.
Hell, maybe there are Ghost/Rainbow/Echelon operators that are now Division Agents littered across The World, protecting what remains.

It all started with sitting down late nights with my dad back when the first splinter cell came out, I was a toddler but I swore I was watching the coolest movies ever created. Then once I was old enough, I had an Xbox 360, it was weird how i stayed in the Tom Clancy universe, but switched to ghost recon, played the hell out of advanced war fighter and future soldier, this whole time I never knew it was all from the same universe. What a world to live in!

End wars has multiple endings too, even if more later games reference to it, they'll have to rewrite the Endwar storyline to fit the continuing universe. I do want to see the uplink system play more roles in the other games.
Chaos Theory was my first game, I really wanted to play one of the Ghost Recon game that takes place concurrently, but I didn't have the version differences was to confusing at the time.
As much as I like Sam Fisher, I hope they retire him into an arm chair role already. He was already getting up there in age during Chaos Theory, he should be enjoying retirement fishing on his private boat in 2025.

Rainbow six will last the longest out of all games

So glad to see End War get the recognition it deserves

So far, I think the shared Clancyverse only interests Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, and HAWX (we've had multiple crossovers and crossreferences between Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six, and HAWX was born, as you said, to support Ghost Recons).
EndWar was an alternate history situation that branches off from the R6/GR Clancyverse, but given that the game ends with nuclear annihilation of either factions (and that the Rainbow and Ghosts end up being on opposite fronts and thus one or the other gets annihilated even before GR:Breakpoint is supposed to happen), I'd say it's meant to be a separate road to explore the RTS possibilities of a East-West conflict within the Tom Clancy franchise, probably inspired by Clancy's books like "The Bear and the Dragon" or "Red Storm Rising".
As for The Division, that's an entirely different Universe, and in fact the game basically has no other Clancyverse references (except for small easter eggs) and is not referenced in any other Tom Clancy games (except for some promotional skins for guns and gear in Ghost Recon Wildlands).

Hey, I wanted to reach out and let you know that the statement about Elite Squad not fitting into the timeline isn't entirely correct. I can actually provide you with resources and information from the game to give you the whole picture how it fits into the timeline and the major players involved. If you are interested, let me know and I'll compile it for you. The story actually primarily revolved around the events of The Division and gets pretty interesting.

That's not right, Ghost recon started in 2006 or 2007, because I was playing Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare in 2007, when it was an almost new game.

Great video, I still have the discs for the original rainbow 6 and it's dlc 😊. What other Tom Clancy book would make games that could work in the time line you suggest in this video?

Ok, so you mentioned Operation Amber Sky from Breakpoint and include Rainbow Six Siege and Sam Fisher having to stop the production of the gas from wiping out humanity, wouldn't that be similar to the Green Poison in the Division that actually did wipe out humanity? It's like you mentioned how timelines can change. Like everything is leading towards Division, especially when everything about Breakpoint (not including Operation Motherland) feels like The Division.

Here some of the my lore rumors to be seen in the Clancyverse:
- Rainbow Six seeks help from Scott Mitchell to send Ghost Recon teams to joining with Rainbow Six to neutralizing the members of the White Masks. Kozak, 30K, Pepper, Nomad, Fury, Vasily & Fixit as their new operators in the Rainbow Six: Siege DLC. Some of the cosmetics from the Future Soldier will be applied on all Rainbow Six operators.

- The Division alongside w/ Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon & the Forth Echelon formed a joint operations team to eliminate a bioterrorist organization that created a "Million Dollar Flu" Virus that spreads the whole entire planet & rescue doctors & scientists that created a new flu vaccine to end the global pandemic. Weapons & equipment from Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon & Splinter Cell will be now available in The Division sequel DLC.

- EndWar must to be a reboot. This time, a new private military empire to seek a totalitarian new world order that military alliances to start the big conflict. Now, 7 military alliances joined together to stop an another bigger conflicts & topple down the military empire for good. Characters from Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, The Division, H.A.W.X., Assassin's Creed (modern day), Far Cry & Watch Dogs will be seen in their bios as their commanders. Here some of 7 military alliances will be playable:
- North American Joint Strike Force (JSF), Canada & Mexico joining together with the United States.
- European Federation Enforcer Corps (EFEC), United Kingdom & Ireland will officially returned to the EFEC. Israel, Turkey, Cyprus, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan & Ukraine among the countries joined the EFEC.
- Russian Federation Spetsnaz Guards Brigade (SGB), CSTO joins SGB.
- South American Confederation Confederate Republic Forces (CRF), Colombia & Brazil are co-de facto capitals.
- Middle Eastern Sultan's Coalition (MESU), Saudi Arabia is the de facto leading country.
- Chinese Peoples Liberation Army (PLA)
- Asian-Pacific Self-Defense Forces (APSDF), Australia, New Zealand, India & United Koreas absorbed to the APSDF. Japan & United Koreas as their co-de facto countries.

Man I loved EndWar. I thought that was such a cool setting and I loved the visual look of the game. Shame the game play was so weak killing the series

Wow, this is bad.
2/10
You failed to mention that they've fought against Predators, Terminators, and other extraterrestrials. Clearly, you don't respect Tom Clancy's work!

My first Clancy game was the original Rainbow Six back on the PC, I also bought it when it was released on the N64.

I started play Tom clancy games since the frist rainbow 6 was released

I wish Tom Clancy only allowed his name on things he worked on it derectly related to his work, basically so Ubisoft didn't S**t on his name

Misleading name - "The Tom Clancy GAMING Universe" is what it should be called. Based on the current title I thought it would combine the games, books, and movies.

My love for tactical shooters started with ghost recon. I've enjoyed the division story but both strayed from their origins. We can expect a short life with Frontline, if any. Great vid NGN!

Wait, what? Tom Clancy started the Games himself? I always thought they just used his novels as inspiration. Mind Blown!!!!

I love your videos with facts and theories. I have one for you and I would love to hear your thoughts on it: What if Hitman (2016 series) and Ghost Recon (Wildlands & Breakpoint) are set in the same universe? I speculate Diana Burnwood and Karen Bowman are the same person. They are both voiced by the same actress. Their jobs are basically the same - espionage - collate intel from around the world and provide target information to an assassin (Agent 47) or to a squad (Ghost Team). We know the name 'Karen' is an alias. We have heard Sam Fisher call her 'Linda'. Maybe 'Diana' is also an alias. Diana and Karen may look a little different but maybe she is a master of disguise. Finally, In GR:Wildlands mission Operation Archangel, when Ghost Team is searching for Caveira's brother in an apartment, we see a suit very similar to what Hitman wears. This is an easter egg but it only adds fuel this speculation.
