Assassin’s Creed Shadowsis “pushing the limits” of whatUbisoftcan do with current-gen consoles.
“But obviously there are great expectations. We always want to go better, which is what we’re trying to do with Shadows. We are pushing the limits of what we can do. It is something we have always wanted to do, but we wanted to find the right time. And I’m sure the other teams would have liked to do it, too,” the lead producer continued.
“But it also felt like the right moment, because we have the power in terms of the hardware, but also our new version of the engine, so we could really deliver our vision. It was important for us to have things like light and shadows, which is very performance hungry. And things like dynamic weathers,” Onnée concludes, referencing Ubisoft’s upgraded Anvil game engine, which Shadows runs on.
